History
Branthwaite Hall was built near the village of Branthwaite and the town of Cockermouth in the mid-15th century by the Skelton family, who acquired the surrounding manor from the Branthwaites by marriage.[2] The new building was constructed from rubble stone with a single tower with a parapet and a spiral-stair turret, with an adjacent hall.[1] The hall was 60 feet long and 42 wide (18 metres by 13 metres), but was largely remodelled in 1604; the new hall is a single space, whereas it was probably originally subdivided, and additional windows were added.[1] Subsequent work was conducted in the 1670s to give the property a grander appearance.[1] The Skeltons held the hall until 1757.[1]
It was designated as a Grade I listed building in 1967.[3]
Today
Branthwaite Hall was restored between 1985 and 1986 by the National Coal Board, which converted the property into offices.[4] It is considered by historian Anthony Emery to be "one of the best-preserved early houses in Cumbria".[1]
