Cliffe Hall is a Gothic revival mansion built according to the designs of George Webster by Christopher Netherwood. Work began in 1828 and was concluded five year later. Soon after, in 1848 the building was purchased by the industrialist Henry Isaac Butterfield (1819-1910). He extended the home by adding new interiors, such as a ballroom and conservatory, and eventually renamed it Cliffe Castle in the late 1870s. The estate was inherited by Henry Isaac’s son Sir Frederick William Louis Butterfield (1858-1943) in 1910. In 1918 Sir Frederick welcomed King George V and Queen Mary to Cliffe Castle in his role as Mayor of Keighley. Upon his death, Cliffe Castle was inherited by his daughter, Marie-Louise Roosevelt Butterfield (1889-1984), , later Countess Manvers, who did not live in the building, but instead moved into Thoresby Hall. The quasi abandoned Cliffe Castle was purchased by Keighley Corporation and the house’s contents, including the present mirror, were sold in 1950.
