Capernwray Hall, Gothic Revival country house in Over Kellet, England.
Capernwray Hall features sandstone walls, slate roofs, and multiple wings surrounding a central range with a prominent north entrance front.
Edmund Sharpe designed and remodeled the structure in 1844 for George Marton, transforming the original Keer Bank house into a larger residence.
The property includes formal gardens with geometric beds and a circular fountain, designed by Thomas Mawson in 1901 following period landscaping traditions.
The estate spans 70 hectares with four entrance lodges, offering access to multiple areas of the grounds and agricultural buildings.
During World War II, the hall served as a shelter for evacuated students while its grounds stored military fuel supplies.
