Welton Hall, Northumberland

Welton Hall are the remains of a mediæval manor house and tower house two miles north-west of Prudhoe in Northumberland. They are located within a farm complex but were originally on the street line at the eastern end of the mediæval village of Welton. The house is dated 1614 but was originally a 13th- or 14th-century hall house. It was altered in the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries. The house is constructed from Roman stone and rubble with a Welsh slate roof. The tower house is of late 14th- or early 15th-century date and was converted from the west wing of the earlier manor house. The tower, which is square in shape and measures 23 feet externally, stands three storeys high and is roofless. The Welton family lived here for about 250 years from the reign of Henry IV. It is within the council area of Northumberland.
