Dalston Hall

Dalston Hall is located within the village of Dalston, which is within the county of Cumbria, England. The village is placed roughly four miles southwest of Carlisle. The hall is made up of a Baronial Hall and a Pele Tower which would have been used for defence against the Scottish. Said to have been originally built by John Dalston and his wife, Elizabeth, Dalston Hall passed through the Dalston family until it was requisitioned by General Leslie during the first English Civil War. From this point, it passed through a couple of different owners who altered the building until it was turned into a country house hotel during 1971. Today, the hall is used as a wedding venue.   A number of spirits are said to haunt Dalston Hall.
