Hollin Hall is a country house in Crook in Westmorland. It is a Grade II listed building.[1][2]
History
The hall, formerly called Thwatterden Hall, is a 14th-century pele tower with crow-stepped gables, built by Robert Philipson.
To the original peel tower has been added 16th or 17th century main block and a 17th or 18th century West wing attached.[1]
In the mid 17th century Captain Myles Philipson commanded the local forces from Westmorland under Henry Clifford, 5th Earl of Cumberland and then, a few years later, Captain Bernard Philipson served with the army in Holland.[3]
The house was acquired by the Braithwaite family, then by the Moore family and after that by the Fleming family who rented it out to farmers.[3] It remains a farmhouse.
