| hearsay:- |
The hall was demolished in the 18th century, to provide building stone. One wing survived
to be converted into a barn. During the conversion work human bones were discovered
iin the shaft of an old privy. And from then the site was haunted by the Cappleside
Lady. The barn fell to ruins and all that is left are some stones on the hillside. |
