Allerton Mauleverer: what to know before moving day
The big house is Allerton Castle, listed at Grade I as Allerton Park: a Gothic revival house in gritstone built in 1848 to 1851 for Lord Mowbray, and headquarters of the Royal Canadian Air Force's Sixth Group of Bomber Command in the Second World War. Several listed parkland buildings are now homes. The Stables, a late 18th-century block round a courtyard, has been converted into flats, and West Lodge and Holly Cottage are listed cottages ornée. If you are moving into a converted estate building, check the courtyard or drive access and send photos with the booking.
St Martin's Church, remodelled in 1745 to 1746 in a neo-Norman style, was declared redundant in 1971 and is cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust. There is no post office in the village; the nearest is at Green Hammerton, and the nearest station is Cattal, about 2.3 miles to the south-east.
How the van gets to Allerton Mauleverer
The A59, called New Road here with a 60 mph limit, passes close to the village between Knaresborough and the A1(M). Allerton Lane is the village road, and the St Georges Archery Club ground sits along it. Give the house or lodge name as well as the postcode, because estate addresses can cover a wide area.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
