Holmside Hall (Burnhope)

Holmside Hall © Ryder, P 2006

Late 18th century or early 19th century farmhouse and a calf shed, incorporating the remains of a medieval moated courtyard house. A possible Romano-Celtic carved head was formerly documented as visible on the external fabric of the house. A chapel existed as a separate building, but is now destroyed.

Another possible chapel {D1318} can be seen in the buildings to the south of the courtyard. The whole site was surrounded by a moat {D1317}. This is a Grade II listed building, thus protected by law.
