Notable buildings

Gateforth Hall was built in 1812 by influential local landowner Sir Humphrey Brooke Osbaldeston – at one time sheriff of York – and used as a meet for Bramham Moor Hunt.[2][3] Subsequently it was used as a hospital for tuberculosis patients and later a restaurant.[3][4] As of 2013, it was for sale as a house.[5] It is a Grade II* listed building.[6] Other notable listed buildings on the former Gateforth Hall estate include a ha-ha (landscape feature) in the grounds and the coach house.[7] Selby Golf Club is located 2 miles (3 km) north east of Gateforth. The 71 par course was established as a club in 1907.[8]
