Parson and White, writing in 1829 state that 'the ancielt manor house was a strong old building, in a quadrangular form, adapted for defence more than for convenience'. Much of the lead and timber had been moved to Lowther. (PastScape–ref. Perriam and Robinson)
The old hall was situated to the south of the present farmhouse. It was a place of considerable strength and size, and was castellated. The old buildings were cleared away about eighty years ago, when the present farmhouse was built. The lead and timber was employed in building Lowther Castle. All vestiges have disappeared. (Taylor)
Grayrigg-hall, being the ancient manor house, was a strong old building, in a quadrangular form, adapted for defence more than for convenience. It is now totally in ruins, most of the lead and timber thereof having been removed to Lowther. (Nicholson and Burn)
