From the Wikipedia article
Wydale Hall is a Christian Conference centre run by the Diocese of York. The house is located near Brompton-by-Sawdon in the foothills of the North York Moors National Park overlooking the Vale of Pickering. The Hall lies just off the A170, 8.5 miles from Scarborough. Nearby market towns also include Malton (15 miles), Pickering (10 miles), Thornton-le-Dale (7 miles) and Whitby (27 miles). The house dates back to the 18th century, when it was built as a three-storey gentleman's residence, and was extended and enlarged by the Cayley Family in the 19th century. The property was transferred to the York Diocesan Board of Finance in 1953 to serve as the retreat and conference centre for the diocese.

Background
Architecture
Alongside the main hall (described above) there is a former stable block which has been converted for use by youth groups, called the Emmaus Centre. To the north lies an extensive walled garden along with a glasshouse and garden keeper's cottage. The hall and its buildings are set in 14 acres of woodland and terraced lawns.
Description
The Hall was originally a private house built for the Cayley Family, who also owned other local estates including Brompton Hall. The oldest part of the house (the three-storey section) was built around 1790. Historically the house was associated with the pioneer aviator George Cayley, who inherited the Wydale estate amongst other estates in 1792. The valley to the front of the hall provided the launch site for a number of his early experiments with aviation, starting as early as 1853. In 1877 the two-storey sections of the house were added, including the main hall and the drawing room (now the Library) and a ballroom.
