Capheaton Hall and castle (Capheaton)
-
Description
"Capheaton Hall was built in 1668 and stands close to the site of an earlier castle. The castle had a moat and a drawbridge and is first mentioned in documents in 1415. It still stood in 1538. The new house was built in Baroque style by Robert Trollope for Sir John Swinburne with no hint of a defensive nature. Much of this original 17th century work still survives...." -
