Clarghyll Hall, Alston Moor, Cumbria
Clarghyll Hall was originally a 16th century bastle house which could be defended in times of attack. It was heightened and extended in the late 17th century for Nicholas Whitfield and further extended for Thomas Whitfield in the 18th century. The Rev. Octavius James who lived here 1847-89 died in a fire which destroyed part of the house.
