At Shandy Hall in the 1760’s, the witty and the eccentric local parson, Laurence Sterne, sprang to fame with two novels of genius, Tristram Shandy and A Sentimental Journey, books that ‘jump out of the 18th century into the 20th.’
Shandy Hall, architectually as eccentric as its former occupant, is still a lived-in house, more than 500 years old, full of books, pictures and memorabilia that tell his story.
Shandy Hall is now conserved as a public museum. The ambition of the museum is to combine the preservation of this Grade 1 listed building.
Shandy Hall is located at Coxwold near Thirsk,North Yorkshire
