Kirklinton Hall, 18th-century Grade II listed building in Hethersgill, England
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.

Cumbria holds centuries of history within its borders. Medieval churches stand in villages like Bassenthwaite and Beetham, their stones speaking of centuries past. Ancient stone circles such as Swinside Stone Circle and Long Meg and Her Daughters dot the countryside, reaching back to prehistoric times. Roman remains appear throughout the region, from the bath house at Ravenglass to the fort at Birdoswald, reminding visitors of the empire that once occupied these lands. The region is also known for its country houses and castles that reflect the wealth and taste of past generations. Sizergh Castle near Kendal and Hutton in the Forest near Penrith display fine architecture alongside carefully tended gardens. Historic mills like Eskdale Mill and Gleaston Water Mill reveal how people once worked the land and water. Museums such as Hawkshead Grammar School and Tullie House preserve local knowledge, from schooling to mining to dock life. Nature forms an equal part of Cumbria's appeal. Waterfalls like Aira Force tumble down hillsides, while lakes such as Ennerdale Water lie calm and serene. Limestone crags and rolling valleys create a landscape that shifts with the seasons. For those interested in literature, the region opens doors to William Wordsworth's world through his birthplace in Cockermouth and his home at Dove Cottage in Grasmere.
