History

The hall was originally built as a tower house in the early 16th century probably for the Briggs family.[2] It was acquired by the Newby family in the late 17th century[3] and was extended and remodelled by Richard Fleming, a son of Sir Daniel Fleming, in the 1690s.[2] It was owned by the Carruthers family until 1934.[3] It was then owned by Major and Mrs Gordon until 1966 and has since been acquired by the Barrett family who use it as a home and have converted a farm building into a damson gin cellar.[4]
