A house with a dark past which was the scene of a murder in the 17th Century is no longer considered “at risk” of being lost after it was converted into holiday accommodation.
Calverley Old Hall in Leeds, a Grade I-listed medieval house where William Calverley murdered his two sons in 1605, had been on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk register for nearly 10 years because of concerns about its condition.
Although it has been removed from the list since its restoration, seven other heritage sites in Yorkshire have been added including St John the Evangelist Church in Ranmoor, Sheffield and the gateway to Temple Lodge, in Cravengate, Richmond.
Heritage minister Sir Chris Bryant said the buildings at risk were in “desperate need of support”.
