Description
"Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; Mydleton Hall In the civil parish of Earle....A survey of 1541 mentions that in the township of Middleton Hall are two stone houses or Bastles, one of the inheritance of Robert Rutherford and the other of John Rutherford.

The foundations of the other are in the adjacent field (Dodds 1935). About midway between Castle Hill and the present house and adjoining the farm buildings on the west (Area NT 989254), are faint traces of the old tower, the walls of which were taken away in 1806 when building the offices...." -
