The former Beamsley Hospital, near Skipton, has been included in the first published list of over 300 historic properties to give readers a glimpse into England's heritage.
Sir Jocelyn Stevens, chairman of English Heritage, announced the publication of the buildings which have been grant-aided by English Heritage and their arrangements for public access.
The circular stone Beamsley Hospital, founded in 1593, contained seven rooms for women around a chapel through which most had to pass to get to their doors, a daily encouragement to piety.
Speaking at the Britain Visitor Centre in London, Sir Jocelyn said: "In the last ten years English Heritage has allocated £90 million on grants to repair and restore Grade I and II-listed buildings, parks and scheduled ancient monuments and the public have the right to see how their money has been spent.
The list which includes Beamsley Hospital will be published in the millennium edition of Hudson's Historic Houses and Gardens.
