Burrow Hall

Burrow Hall is a large 18th-century country house in Burrow-with-Burrow, Lancashire, England, which lies in the Lune Valley on the A683 some 2 miles (3 km) south of Kirkby Lonsdale. The house is built of sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. The south facing façade is composed of seven bays, three of which project under a pediment. The east facing façade has ten bays. The hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and the stable block to the rear is listed Grade II*. The house has a number of impressive ornate plaster ceilings, attributed to Italians Francesco Vassalli and Martino Quadry, who were also thought to have done work at Towneley Hall, Burnley and Shugborough in Staffordshire. Burrow Hall was built over the site of a Roman Fort, the initial construction of which is thought to date to the Flavian period. Remains are thought to be under the Main Hall, although archaeological work during the renovations in 2014 uncovered no significant evidence of that.
