Number 39 Frenchgate was built in the mid 18th century with a later one bay extension on the right. Set back from the road and constructed of roughcast rubble stone with rusticated stone quoins. The ashlar porch has two Tuscan columns, entablature and pediment with Doric frieze which continues round the right bay. The house is in a dire condition.

Set on the north bank of the River Swale, the town is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and is marketed as the Gateway to the Dales. Richmond was founded in 1071 and the castle was completed in 1086. Tourism is important to the local economy, as is the influence of the nearby Catterick Garrison army base. A traditional market operates every Saturday in the large cobbled marketplace.

Grove House may be the finest period residence in Richmond. It overlooks the busy lower end of Frenchgate and the river, and was built in 1750 for Caleb Readshaw, a wealthy Richmond business man who made his money from Dales woollen production. Like several other major 18th century buildings in Richmond, it is made of brick, which was more fashionable, and more expensive than local stone at the time.

Georgian mansion built c1750 by Caleb Readshaw (c1675 - 1758), a merchant in woollen goods. The building looks a little worse for wear now with uneven window sills and patched brickwork in places.
