The Ownership of the Hall is as follows:

“Brawith Hall belonged to the Danby family in the first half of the C17. After the Civil War, in 1656, it passed into the hands of Edmund Barstow of Northallerton, a member of the same family. Bought in 1702 by Mrs Peacock, also of the same family, it has descended down the family to its present owners.” [14]

Economy

Back in 1801, there was a division of occupations, as people were employed in agriculture, trade, manufacturing and handicraft[15] .
