Location :

More information : [SD 28898136] Mansriggs Hall [TI] (1)

"There was no manor of Mansriggs which was merely a hamlet or dependency of the Nevill manor of Ulverston. The house called Mansriggs Hall was formerly owned by the Benson family and carried by an heiress to the Blundells of West Derby." (2)

MANSRIGGS HALL is a two-storey gabled farmhouse of plain appearance. All windows and doors are of late insertion, and the roof is modern. The walls are covered with pebble-dash. There are no architectural features remaining by which the structure can be dated, though it is pre - 1689. The tenant showed to the investigator a cupboard on the ground floor, the lintel of which bears the date and initials "1689 W. M. B.," which probably refers to a member of the BENSON family.

Farm buildings have been added, probably at a later date to the north end of the house.
