Clifton Hall, Medieval manor house in Clifton, England.
Clifton Hall is a manor house in Northumberland with a three-story stone tower as its core structure. The building displays thick defensive walls and retains architectural features spanning several periods throughout its construction.
The house was built around 1400 by the Engaine family and served as a residence for centuries after its construction. It stands on the moor where the last battle fought on English soil took place in 1746.
The structure represents the architectural evolution of northern English defensive residences, transitioning from medieval fortified houses to refined country estates.
The building is reached by a footpath crossing open fields, so sturdy shoes and time for walking are needed to reach it. Parking is available near the village church, where the footpath begins its journey across the landscape.
The original layout was H-shaped with a central section and two side wings, which was uncommon for medieval towers. This design allowed for more living space than was typical in standard defensive structures.
