Cliffe Castle Keighley Bradford Now a Museum and art gallery located in scenic parkland


Side of the Main Tower at front of Hall Entrance showing architectural Hall was built by Christopher Netherwood between 1828 and 1833, and designed by George Webster of Kendal, a gothic revivalist. The Butterfields, a textile manufacturing family, bought Cliffe Hall in 1848. Henry Butterfield transformed the building by adding towers, a ballroom and conservatories from 1875 to 1880, re-naming it Cliffe Castle in 1878. He decorated the building with the griffin motif, which he had adopted as a heraldic house had been gabled in the neo-gothic style, with tall towers each end, and great conservatories.
