Borwick Hall is a 16th-century manor house at Borwick in Lancashire. It is built of stone rubble with sandstone dressing and a slate roof. The manor of Borwick is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being part of the estates of Roger of Poitou but the oldest parts of the building still in existence date from the 14th century when a pele tower was built on the site. It was bought c. 1590 by Roger Bindlosse. The tower was extended to a manor house by Roger in the early 1590s. By the early 19th century the Hall was falling into disrepair and was only repaired in the 1910s, when it was leased to music critic John Alexander Fuller Maitland on the specific condition that he restore the building. After the Second World War during which the hall was used as a military base, the estate was sold to Lancashire Youth Clubs Association and later passed into the ownership of Lancashire County Council. It is now used as a residential outdoor education and conference centre by Lancashire County Council. It is within the council area of Lancaster (Lancashire).
