Rigmaden Park


Rigmaden Park (aka Rigmaden Hall) is a large country house, located about 3½ miles north of Kirkby Lonsdale. The house is built on the site of a Medieval manor house, documented as being occupied Thomas Warde in 1322. This manor house was replaced by a new building in c.1678 for Thomas Godsalve. In turn this was replaced by the current house, by Francis Webster, which was built in 1825, for Christopher Wilson, with later extensions and alterations. By 1948, the Hall had fallen into dereliction and, in 1992, part of the building was demolished, while the other half was renovated. Rigmaden Park is a Grade II listed building on the National Heritage List for England. The stable range, kennel range, outbuilding to the north of the hall (thought to have been a smithy), and west entrance gate piers + railings, all dating from the 19th century are also Grade II listed (4 separate list entries).
