Shandy Hall

Shandy Hall

Shandy Hall was the home of the Rev. Laurence Sterne who is famous for his novel Tristram Shandy in Coxwold, North Yorkshire, England. Sterne lived there from 1760 to 1768 as perpetual curate of Coxwold

The home was originally built in c.1450 as a parsonage for the Coxwold village priest. It is a small building, with a mossy stone-covered roof, wide gables, and massive chimney-stacks, originally a timber framed open-hall house considerably altered in the 17th century. The stone tablet above its doorway states that Sterne wrote "Tristram Shandy" and "A Sentimental Journey" at Shandy Hall. This is not entirely accurate, for two volumes of "Tristram Shandy" had already been published in 1759 before Sterne moved to Coxwold.

The house is a Grade 1 Listed Building. It was extended and altered internally for Sterne and subject to restoration in 1960.
