Kirklinton Hall

Kirklinton Hall is a house in Hethersgill built from red sandstone with a Welsh slate roof and an E-shaped layout. The building spans two to three stories with multiple sections and window styles that vary between floors.

The hall was originally built around 1661 and received major additions in the 1870s from architects Cory and Ferguson. This transformation enlarged the building significantly and changed how it appeared from its initial design.

The entrance features classical details that show what the owners valued in architecture during their time. These design choices reflect how wealthy families wanted their homes to look and feel.

The building is currently in poor condition and visits require advance contact with local heritage groups to ensure safety. You should confirm access and current conditions before planning to visit the site.

The building features two distinct window styles depending on the floor, with framed sash windows on lower levels and square casement windows above. This combination shows how window designs shifted during the renovation work.
