History and occupants
Originally known as Beilby Grange or Micklethwaite Grange, the house was built in the 17th century by the Beilby family. In Georgian times a tower and dome were added to the house. The house was purchased in 1831 by Colonel Robert Gunter upon returning from the Crimean War. Gunter became a Conservative MP. Gunter is listed on the 1871 census as living there with his wife and four daughters as well as 22 servants.{{cite web|url=http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=20041018_20826357|title=Wetherby Grange|publisher=Leodis|accessdate=2014-08-29}}
