Crookdake Hall

Crookdake Hall is a farmhouse and former manor house in Crookdake, situated near Sandraw Beck. The building mostly dates from the 16th/17th century, incorporating extremely thick end wall from the 14th century. The ruined medieval wall, now detached from the house, suggests that this and the end wall formed part of a tower belonging to the Crookdakes family in the 14th century.[1] The manor was owned by the Musgrave family from 15th century. Following the death of William Musgrave in 1664 the manor passed through his daughter, Anne, by marriage, to Sir John Ballantine. The manor remained with the Ballantine (later Ballantyne-Dykes) family into 19th century. Crookdake Hall is a Grade II listed building on the National Heritage List for England. The detached medieval wall and the barns (1840 & 1893) are also separately listed.
