Hollin Hall

History

The hall, formerly called Thwatterden Hall,[2] is a 14th-century pele tower with crow-stepped gables, built by Robert Philipson with a 16th or 17th century main block and a 17th or 18th century West wing attached.[1] In the mid 17th century Captain Myles Philipson commanded the local forces from Westmorland under Lord Clifford and then, a few years later, Captain Bernard Philipson served with the English army in Holland.[3] The house was acquired by the Braithwaite family, then by the Moore family and after that by the Fleming family who rented it out to farmers.[3] It remains a farmhouse.[2]
