It once belonged to the Rhodes family in 1846 and has been privately owned by the same family since 1919 and was the home of Colonel Sir Malcolm Stoddart-Scott OBE MC TD, until his death in 1973.
The Hall is known to many people as Home Farm from the ITV soap Emmerdale and has been used on the show since the first series commissioned following the pilot series in 1972, a purpose built imitation was used for a short period in 2014.
A flat-roofed billiard room extension was added by the owner in 1919. This connects the 16th century chapel with the main body of the house, and has enclosed a courtyard where the front entrance used to be.
The gardens of Creskeld Hall are open to the public occasionally as part of the National Gardens Scheme "Yellow Book", with the proceeds being split between the National Garden Scheme, and a charity of the owner's choice. The house sits in approximately 3.5 acres (14,000m2) of garden, and has many rare colours of rhododendron and azalea collected by one of the family in the 1930s. The grounds also boasts a fine specimen of a mature Monkey Puzzle tree.
LEEDS PARISH #28: ARTHINGTON
Arthington is a small village in Wharfedale, to the North of the City of Leeds which, according to the 2011 census, had a population of 532. Again, we’re on the outskirts of Otley
The village is a small collection of dwellings and farms along the A659 road - Arthington Lane - running from Pool-in-Wharfedale in the West to Harewood in the East
Arthington is recorded in the Domesday Book with three different spellings - Hardinctone, Ardintona and Ardinton. The first element of the name comes from the Old English personal name Eard
The name means 'Eard's estate'. Arthington is well known to producers of various TV programmes. Indeed, at least two of its properties have been used for filming popular shows
It’s not a village you can easily walk around. In fact...

It’s not a village you can easily walk around. In fact, in what might well be a channel first, this entire episode was done by moving the car between seven different locations in and around the village
It’s got some really wonderful things though, including a massive railway viaduct which carries the Harrogate Line across the River Wharfe. There’s a former station, and a very unusual church here
Also, Arthington has the site of one of only two Cluniac Priories in the country. Up Black Hill Road to the South is a working stone quarry, and all around you there’s gorgeous Yorkshire scenery
Farming is the main profession and until recently, this place had the oldest herd of cows in the country! Let’s see what else it has!
