Scout Hall

Scout Hall
Built in the Shibden Valley in 1681 by John Mitchell, this old Hall is a rare example of a "Calendar House" - it apparently has 12 bays, 52 rooms and 12 doors, representing the months and weeks of the year.

The hall currently stands in a derelict state - attempts at conversion and sale of the hall since the 1980s have been unsuccessful. The grade II listed building is currently on the English Heritage "Buildings at Risk" Register.

There is a Facebook group titled *Save and Restore Scout Hall* which has many modern pictures of the hall and discussion around its future.
