The Bulletin  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 69—No. 3587  

Wednesday, November 10, 1948  

Price 6d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.  

Fountains Hall, The Pride of Jacobean Craftsmanship  

HALL, five miles from Ripon, in Yorkshire, stands  

in the beautiful valley of the Skell, within few hundred yards  

of the famous Fountains Abbey. Some of the materials used in  

building this hall came from the ruins of the abbey, and today it  

stands as one of the finest lacobean mansions in England. It was  

built in 1610 by Sir Stephen Proctor, who chose so steep site for  

it that, while the south side is seen in the above picture, is five  

storeys high from basement to attic, the north side has only two  

ioreys showing above the ground.  

The bold grouping of the high battlemented flanking towers and  

the tiers of bay windows are notable features of the building. Above  

the pillared entrance, which is on the basement level, are two stone  

figures—recessed in the wall—which were at some time part of the  

abbey. The tall oriel windows above these stone figures, and  

reaching to the roof line, are those of the great drawing-room,  

which has particularly fine sixteenth-century stone mantelpiece.  

Beneath the drawing-room is the Great Hall in the middle of the  

house, across the west end of which runs Minstrels’ Gallery.  

In 1859 Fountains Hall was inherited by the Earl of Ripon.  

The second Earl of Ripon was created Marquis in 1871, but, his  

son dying childless, the titles became extinct, then the estate passed  

to Mr. Clare Vymer, the second son of Lady Alwyn Compton-  

Vymer, great-granddaughter of the second Earl of Wrey.  

In the beautiful valley of the Skell, near Fountains Hall and  

Abbey, is Robin Hood’s Well, one of the traditional sites of the  

encounter in which that noble outlaw was beaten and throwp into  

brook by the “Curtal Friar.” Also in the vicinity are the grounds  

of Studley Royal, open to the public, which are among the finest  

examples of Italian and Dutch formal gardening.
