Historic England have declined to list Yorkshire coast hotel Raven Hall after several members of the public made applications for it to be protected following a change of ownership.
The building overlooking Robin Hood’s Bay is a combination of a mansion built in the late 18th century for the owner of a local alum works and a late Victorian extension dating from the site’s conversion into a hotel. This month a local businesswoman sold Raven Hall to hospitality chain the Apartment Group, who have revealed plans to turn the complex into a leading wedding venue.
However, Historic England rejected the bids, primarily due to the fact that the internal structure of the hall has already changed significantly since the 19th century. Their assessment also pointed out that the history of Ravenscar and the failed resort project was of local rather than wider heritage interest. They said the design of the building had been ‘compromised’ by flat-roofed additions to the complex dating from after the construction of the 1895 extension.
