Workington Hall, Medieval fortified house in Workington, England.
The stone walls of Workington Hall rise above the parklands, featuring defensive elements and architectural details from its 1404 construction period.
Mary Queen of Scots spent her first night in England at Workington Hall in 1568 after crossing the Solway Firth following her defeat at Langside.
The Curwen family, who owned the hall until 1929, shaped the development of Workington through their influence as Members of Parliament and local leaders.
The ruins of Workington Hall stand within public parklands that include walking paths, woodland areas, and a miniature railway for visitors to explore.
The hall suffered extensive fire damage during World War II while housing troops, leading to its current state as a protected archaeological structure.
