Berrington Old Hall (Kyloe)
A tower at Berrington is listed in the 15th century. (1)
It was in decay in 1542. (2)
There are no visible remains of a tower at Berrington. Part of an outbuilding dated 1698, however, constitutes the remains of a 'mansion' which traditionally stood at NU 00794328. The site (now occupied by cottages) is elevated, and a substantial 17th century house may well have superseded the tower. (3)
Plan of 1790 of Edward Clavering's estate at Berrington shows the old and new Berrington Hall. Old Berrington hall is shown with pleasure grounds. A line of buildings is shown to the east of the Old Hall in the position of the cottages mentioned by authority (3). (4)
Tithe Map of 1848 shows Berrington Hall (New House) and Old Hall to the south. (5)
On the 1st edition OS (1860) the site of the Old Hall is now called North Berrington. The gardens are still intact. (6)
Listed by Cathcart King and Dodds. (7a-b)
