Monuments in Westmorland: HMSO "UBARROW HALL, ... is of two storeys; the walls are of rubble and the roofs are slate-covered.
The pele-tower forming the S.W. part of the house is of late medieval date, but the
existing wing to the N.E. was added or rebuilt in the 17th century. The tower (32
ft. by 22 ft. externally) is now of two storeys but was formerly higher. It is lit
by rectangular windows, some of them probably enlargements from earlier loops. The
ground-stage has a plain barrel-vault and the floor above had a circular staircase
in the E. angle. The existing roof is of king-post type and probably of the 16th century.
The 17th-century wing has some exposed ceiling-beams, a two-stage cupboard of the
local type, with pendants and fluted fascia and some panelled doors of the same age." |
