More information : [NY 68186412] Blenkinsopp Hall [T.I.] (1)
Blenkinsopp Hall was a border fortalice, and in latter years, has had large additions made to it. The east tower was built in 1835. (2)
Mrs Joicey, wife of the owner, Major Joicey stated that there are no remains of the old Tower in situ. The present structure consists of a large rectangular block, built of small, fashioned stones which may have come from the demolished tower. The north entrances and all drainpipes bear the date 1877. Just to the east of the main entrance, a very small window from the early building has been inserted into the wall. In the garden along the south-west face of the Hall, and near the south corner, are several fragments of carved stone, including a part of a decorated water spout. No other remains of an earlier building could be recognised in or around the present structure. (3)
