Marske Hall

Marske Hall is a stone mansion in Marske-by-the-Sea built across two floors with nine bays along its frontage and featuring two three-story turrets topped with tiled roofs. The symmetrical design and defensive towers create a commanding presence on the local landscape.

William Pennyman acquired the Manor of Marske in 1616 and built this mansion in 1625, establishing himself as the first Baronet Pennyman of Marske. The house witnessed local conflicts during the English Civil War period in the 1640s.

The building evolved from a noble residence to a care facility when Lord Zetland donated it to the Leonard Cheshire Foundation in 1961.

The property now operates as a residential care facility serving people with disabilities and is not open to the general public as a visitor attraction. Those interested in the building should contact the care home directly to inquire about potential visits.

In 1643 James Pennyman led local tenants in defending Marske beach against a Royalist attack, making this mansion a focal point in Civil War tensions. The building thus played a direct role in a dramatic moment of regional conflict.
