The Ridding

It was built in Scottish Baronial style for B. H. Bent by E. G. Paley in 1857–60, the only building designed in this style by Paley.[2] It is built of squared rubble with sandstone ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The frontage has three bays in two storeys and incorporates a short two-stage tower at the left.[1]

History

The house was built in 1857–60 for Baldwin Harry Bent. It was later owned by Joseph Teale, a medical doctor, whose only daughter Alice Catherine married Robert Garnett in 1880, who was a Justice of the Peace for Lancashire and the North Riding. Alice died in 1900 and Robert remarried. He died in 1921 leaving a son Richard Everard Garnett.[3]
