Colburn Hall
Colburn Hall is a historic building in Colburn, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The oldest part of the complex is a hall with an undercroft, now known as the courthouse, which was constructed in about 1300. About 50 years later, another two-storey block was constructed; this now forms the cross-wing of the hall. It is possible that the two structures were linked by a central range, probably built of timber; or alternatively, that they were separate but associated buildings. If a central range did exist, it was demolished before 1718, the date of a surviving sketch showing the current arrangement. In 1662, a new range was added to the west cross-wing, which was thereafter used as the new Colburn Hall, by the D'Arcy family. It was later used as a farmhouse, and was Grade II* listed in 1951. The courthouse had its roof rebuilt, and a barn was built onto it. The building itself was later used as a barn, with the ground floor used for stabling by the 19th century. The co ...
