| Full of character in its appearance, Dalston Hall hides a fascinating history. The surrounding area was once occupied by the Romans and then the Danes. Later the warrior Scots frequently invaded the area, leading to the construction of fortified structures known as Pele Towers.
Built around 1500, Dalston Hall’s Pele Tower initially stood alone. Various additions and extensions and were made in subsequent years. In 1897, extensive refurbishment of the interior took place, together with the construction of the entrance side of the building. This created “a magnificent mansion surpassing perhaps even its ancient glories”, to quote a leading antiquarian of the day.
