Description
SHIELD HALL. Slaley, Northumberland An Historic Building Assessment, Peter Ryder, September 2021. ".....Shield Hall (NGR NY 95335870) is located c 2.5 lm north-west of Slaley in Northumberland, on the east side of the valley of the Devil’s Water. The house and its buildings face a little east of south (hereafter referred to as south); the house stands at the west end of the group, with an attached U-shaped group of outbuildings (now converted to domestic use) around a yard opening to the south. This account is concerned with the house and the west range of the farm buildings, the north end of which is formed by the crosswing of an early (13 th century?) hall house. The house is Grade II listed, and the buildings have a Grade II* status. The earliest reference to Shield Hall is in the 1296 Subsidy Roll, where 'Wullawe and Schelis' (Wooley and Shields) are listed separately from Slaley. In 1569, at the time of the rebellion of the Earl of Westmorland, John Swinburne of Chopwell, the earl's commissioner, held 'at the lord's will' a tenement called 'Sheldhall' with gardens, orchards, and 28 acres of arable land, meadow and pasture. In February 1606/7 it was granted on a 50-year lease to Edward Ferrers, a London merchant, but in 1611 it was conveyed to John Heron of Birtley, and remained in the Heron family until the death of Cuthbert Heron in 1812 when it passed to his two daughters...." -
