Workington Hall
Workington Hall (also called Curwen Hall) is a fortified medieval tower house and later country house on the northeast outskirts of Workington, Cumbria. The core dates to c.1404 with an earlier peel tower (1362) and significant late-18th-century additions; it is a Grade I listed building and today survives as a ruin. Mary, Queen of Scots spent a night here in 1568 after crossing the Solway Firth.

As it stood in 1785
The shape it held in its prime.
Low, rectilinear fortified stone house with a dominant central three-storey frontage: a tall semicircular arched main entrance set beneath two stacked arched window openings, and a square peel tower rising immediately behind; a long ashlar range extends to the right with a pair of tall pointed-arch traceried windows, and lower service ranges to the left. Pale grey-buff sandstone and coursed masonry, with crenellated parapets and pitched roofs capping the ranges—presenting a coherent, roofed silhouette in its prime.
