Losehill Hall is a 19th-century grade II listed country hall on Squires Lane on the outskirts of Castleton, Derbyshire. [1] It is currently used as a hostel in the YHA Network. [2]
Losehill Hall was built in 1882. [3] The hall was constructed as a residence for Robert How Ashton of Cryer House, and his wife Thomasine Hall, the daughter of Joseph Hall of Castleton Hall. [4] Robert died in 1922 and the estate was sold to Colonel William Chadburn and Helena Chadburn. [5]
From 1953 to 1971 the building was operated as a residential youth centre for members of the British co-operative movement to attend educational and recreational events. The centre was one of four facilities operated by Co-operative Youth Centres Ltd, who owned the site. [6]
The building was subsequently home to a education and learning centre for the next 40 years operated by the Peak District National Park Authority. The Peak District Study Centre closed in 2010 following a reduction in funding at the National Park Authority. [7] [8]
Since 2012 the building has been occupied by a hostel operated by the YHA. [9] [10]
