Dalton Hall

The hall has been in the ownership of the Hornby family since the late 18th century. The original hall was a Georgian mansion. Major additions were made to the hall in 1859–60 by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley. This building was demolished in 1968 and replaced by a new house in 1968–72. The new house was designed by Clough Williams-Ellis, and was his last commission. The authors of the Buildings of England series describe it as a "stately doll's house" which "sits inside the ghost of its predecessor". The outbuildings have been converted to serve a number of purposes, including cottages, a self-storage facility, and the Dalton Hall Business Centre.
