Excavated remains of Dilston Hall
-
Description
"Recent archaeological excavations (started in 2007) revealed the remains of Dilston Hall and its C17th service range. The Jacobean manor house, was built by the Radcliffes in 1622-23, and remodelled the following century, but was demolished in 1768. Drains exiting below these buildings revealed a range of high-status pottery fragments. The archways are thought to provide structural support for the heavy stonework of the buildings above. Evidence was also found of the medieval occupation of the site possibly dating back to the earliest buildings on the site in the C12th.
