The History of Rudby Hall

Rudby Hall is a historic royal palace built in 1838 for Lady Amelia Cary and the 10th Viscount Falkland.

In 1837, King William IV gave $28,500 to each of his children, prompting Lady Amelia Cary and her husband to hire an architect. Rudby Hall was renamed in the 1980s after being known as Leven Grove and Skutterskelfe Hall.

The hall was in the Falkland family for three generations until 1898. It then became a family property for various Yorkshire families before becoming the headquarters of a chemical company in the 1980s and 1990s.
