Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Doreward's Hall (NAT). <1>
Doreward's Hall has important remains of a 16th century house with 17th and 18th century additions. It was probably rebuilt by Edward Thursby in 1579, but may be of earlier date. The west wing is all that now remains of it. <2> <3>
March 1975. Field visit.
Doreward's Hall (name confirmed) is essentially 17th century but retains the west wing of the earlier 16th century house with brick built gable and original windows exposed. See photograph. <4>
1999. Assessment.
The present building was built in 1579, but it is thought to stand on the site of the medieval manor house of Dorewards Hall, which had its origins in the late Saxon period. <5>
