Description and History of Site:-
A fulsome description of the site and it's history is found on the website of the current Hotel. The house was built by Teasdale Hilton Hutchinson, a part owner in lead mines at Greenhow which he managed until his death in 1845. The Hutchinson family had come to Pateley Bridge in the late 18th century when William (senior and junior) were partners with Edward Cleaver at Cockhill-Sunside Mine. Around 1818 Teasdale Hutchinson established the Brigg House Rolling Mill for the manufacture of lead sheet and pipe. One of his sons, Hanley Hutchinson took over the running of the mine and lived for most of the remainder of his life at Grassfield House.
