C16 and C17 Hall. It is suggested that the South wing is sited on an earlier tower house, two towers having been listed there in 1675. (PastScape–ref. Perriam and Robinson)
Low Hall (Plate 17), house and outbuilding 100 yards S.E. of the church. The House is of two storeys with attics; the walls are of rubble and the roofs are slate-covered. It is said to have been built by a member of the Crackanthorpe family and dates from the second half of the 16th century. The S. wing was added perhaps early in the 17th century; the N. wing is a rather later addition.
The plaster-work is noteworthy and well preserved. (RCHME 1936)
Some historical texts describe the site as having a 9 feet curtain wall, ... The hall was most likely built for the Crackenthorpe family, some time around 1540. (M. Emmott, 2008)
