Wrea Head Hall was built in 1881-2 as the family home of John Ellis, MP and his wife Maria. The architect was Edward Burgess, who also designed the Rowntree's department store in Scarborough.[1]
The house is on the outskirts of Scalby near Scarborough in North Yorkshire within an estate of about 250 acres and takes its name from the raised land behind the house known as Wrea Head.
When John Ellis died in 1910, he left Wrea Head to his wife Maria. Their daughter Edith remained at Wrea Head after her mother died in 1941.[2]
In 1919, Edith turned her family home, Wrea Head in Scalby, into a convalescent centre for released conscientious objectors.[3]
In 1948, Edith gave Wrea Head and its contents to the North Riding County Council for the purposes of education although she continued to live in the west wing of the house.[2]
In 1981 the county council sold Wrea Head and it was converted it into a hotel.
