Description
Wharton Hall is a large house built in a courtyard plan, dating from between the late 14th century and the 17th century. It features coursed rubble construction with quoins and has Welsh slate roofs with projecting stone chimneys. The main building, located to the north-east, has crenellation. There are various multi-light windows with square heads, hoodmoulds, and stone mullions. The substantial remains of the Great Hall and kitchen can still be seen. The gatehouse is virtually intact, although it is missing its roof and floors. The exterior displays the Wharton coat of arms. For a detailed description, refer to the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments, and for a 17th-century description and plan, see the Reverend Thomas Machell's notes in the Carlisle Record Office.
