| Summary : Manor house with later alterations and additions, some visible remains of the original building, surrounded by a moat. Probably 16th century in date, with 18th century alterations, refaced in the late 19/early 20th century. Now a small stone-built house with a cross wing to the right. A short length of garden wall attached to this cross wing contains two bee boles. This may be the site for which a licence to crenellate was granted in 1318. |

The Manor Hall of Elslack seems to have been rebuilt about the reign of Henry VIII. 12 Edward II [1319]. Godfrey de Altaripa had licence to embattle his house at Elslacke and a few lancet windows may possibly be of that period. There are the remains of a moat.
There are two stones on different parts of the building inscribed RB 1672, doubtless meant to commemorate the restoration of the hall by Robert Benson. (2-4)
The published name was confirmed (d). Elslack Hall is a two storey building much modernised but still retaining many of its 18th century features. The lancet windows mentioned by authority 1 are still to be seen but no trace remains of the two stones dated 1672. GP AO 60 257 3 and 4 Elslack Hall from the NE and SE.
