Programme of Events 2016/17

Welcome to Parcevall Hall Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales and set in 24 acres of beautiful formal and woodland gardens lies Parcevall Hall, a place for retreat and spiritual renewal, underwritten by Christian principles. With excellent facilities for conferences, retreats and holidays, the Hall offers the comfort and character of an old house, the peace of a rural setting and the scenic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Available to private individuals as well as religious or secular groups, the Hall can be booked for residential conferences and holidays or for day groups and evening functions.

History of the Hall The oldest part of what was originally Persevall’s Ferme is believed to date back to at least 1586. It was bought by Sir John Yorke, lived in by his son Peter and then left to his second son, Thomas, in 1589. In 1671 additions were made by Christopher Lowson and his bride, Elizabeth, who lived in the house until his death in 1695. For the next two centuries, the house was occupied by a succession of farmers and tenants, including the Yorke family again for a brief spell in the 19th century.

Gradually, however, the house fell into a state of virtual dereliction until, in the depths of the depression of the 1920s, it was bought by Sir William Milner. Sir William was the eighth Baronet of Nun Appleton, a godson of Queen Mary and an architect by profession, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail in restoring old buildings and with a love of gardens and plants. He had inherited the title and status of the Baronetcy but no family seat, as Nun Appleton had been sold by Sir William’s father, Sir Frederick, to settle the gambling debts (totalling £175,000) of his elder brother, the sixth Baronet, whom Sir Frederick had succeeded to the title in 1880. Sir William Milner bought Parcevall Hall in 1927 and, using local labourers and materials, restored the original house and extended it substantially to create spacious living accommodation, distinctive guest bedrooms, a staff wing and magnificent cruciform terraced gardens. Paying his labourers a shilling an hour, Sir William was remembered with gratitude and held in high esteem by his workers for providing secure employment during the years of the depression. A deeply religious but very shy man, Sir William never married and, on his death in 1960, bequeathed Parcevall Hall to the Guardians of the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. The Guardians now manage the estate and gardens and the Hall itself is leased to and run by the Church of England Diocese of Leeds.

Visiting Parcevall Hall Residential visitors and day guests are welcome all year round at Parcevall Hall. Whether as individual private guests, as part of an organised group or joining one of the Hall’s programmed events, you will experience the peaceful tranquillity which has touched so many since the Hall opened in 1963. Business groups, conferences, educational and training groups, craft, music, art and yoga workshops all form part of the varied calendar of Parcevall Hall, with private holiday guests and those looking for a place to retreat or just spend a quiet day mingling whilst savouring the wonderful home-cooked food in our 16th century dining room. As well as the Milner Room with state of the art audio-visual facilities, we have a number of smaller meeting areas suitable for private study or for use as break-out rooms for larger groups. In addition, our chapels, both indoors and in the gardens, are available for services or for quiet reflection. Our 17 letting rooms provide simple but charming, clean and comfortable accommodation for up to 28 and a self-contained one bedroom cottage in the grounds is available either for catered or self-catering guests. Most guests choose to stay full board. With breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner included, it is often said that no-one leaves Parcevall Hall hungry! For those who prefer, we also take bookings for Dinner, Bed & Breakfast or simply B&B. The Hall is licensed and we have an honesty bar available, as well as a gift shop selling greetings cards, books, jams and

chutneys, and toiletries for those who have missed something when packing! Exclusive use of the Hall is available for groups of 17 or more, or for smaller groups paying an equivalent sum. Programmed events The Hall runs a number of events each year to which all are welcome. Full details are in this Programme.

Booking Because of the high demand for spaces at our Programmed Events, all bookings are strictly first-come, first-served.

Booking forms are available on our website and in the centre of this Programme and can be posted or emailed to us. On confirmation of availability, a non-refundable deposit will secure a booking.

Religious services A service of Holy Communion is held in our Chapel every Tuesday at 10:15am, followed by coffee and homemade biscuits.

This service is open to anyone who would like to join us.

The team The welcome our guests receive is only as good as the people looking after them. At Parcevall Hall, we have a small but very dedicated team of staff, some of whom have been serving our guests for over 20 years. As well as cooks, housekeepers, front of house and backroom staff, our chaplain is available for services, quiet days, parish weekends, or just to meet individuals for confession, prayer or a confidential chat.

The Friends of Parcevall Hall The Hall does not receive any grants or external funding and we are very fortunate in having the support of a substantial and very active group of Friends. The Friends support the work of Parcevall Hall through prayer, practical help and an annual subscription which has provided funds over the years for refurbishment, new equipment and bursaries to assist those in need to be able to stay at the Hall. Friends come together and meet at the Hall several times each year and receive a biannual newsletter with details of forthcoming events and news from the Hall. If you would like to join the Friends of Parcevall Hall, you can download a sign-up form from our website or call the office and we will send one to you.
