Branthwaite Hall is pele tower in Cumbria, England, considered by historian Anthony Emery to be "one of the best-preserved early houses in Cumbria".〔Emery, p.196.〕 ==History== Branthwaite Hall was built near the village of Branthwaite and the town of Cockermouth in the mid-15th century by the Skelton family, who acquired the surrounding manor from the Branthwaites by marriage.〔Emery, p.196; Pettifer, p.36.〕 The new building was constructed from rubble stone with a single tower with a parapet and a spiral-stair turret, with an adjacent hall.〔Emery, p.196.〕 The hall was 60 feet long and 42 wide (18 metres by 13 metres), but was largely remodelled in 1604; the new hall is a single space, whereas it was probably originally subdivided, and additional windows were added.〔Emery, p.196.〕 Subsequent work was conducted in the 1670s to give the property a grander appearance.〔Emery, p.196.〕 The Skeltons held the hall until 1757.〔Emery, p.196.〕
