Old Hall Farm

Hob Uid: 37479
Location :
Cumbria
Copeland
Ulpha
Grid Ref : SD1822092450
Summary : Probably a late 15th century farm house, with later alterations. It is in a ruinous condition, due for total demolition.
More information : [SD 18229245] HALL [GT] (Remains of) (1)

Ulpha Old Hall, first referred to in a document of 1666, has crude masonry and is probably a late 15th. century hall-farm house, and is unlikely to have been a Pele tower. (2)

The south & east walls of this ruin are 20ft. high and in good condition - No traces of north and west walls, but a small wall has been built on the site of the old walls. (3)

The Hall is in a ruinous condition and is due for total demolition.
Only the core of its walls are standing (see photographs) from which little can be inferred concerning its original state. It appears unlikely, however, to have been anything other than a farmhouse of minor interest. (4)
