Foundry Farmhouse, Wrelton, North Yorkshire
This house was built in the early 19th century. It was the moulding shop for the Wrelton Iron Foundry. The foundry was run from the house by Isaac Hartas and William Rickaby in the second half of the 19th century. Wooden patterns, made in the foundry joiners' shop, were stored in the loft over the moulding shop. The foundry made castings for the Rosedale mines using Rosedale iron ore. It also made domestic fittings including kitchen ranges and portable horse engines.
