Brougham Hall

The de Burghams retained land by military service to the Vieuxpont lords who lived at Brougham Castle close by.

Lady Anne's attorney-at law and later her steward, James Bird, bought her third of the Hall and manor after her death (1676), being the first person to hold the entirety of the building since the de Broughams.

The Hall was close to the scene of a bloody battle between the Jacobite army of Prince Charles Edward Stuart and Government forces (the Clifton Moor Skirmish), that took place in December 1745.

[5] From this point on, Brougham Hall received visits from London " society" and other notable people, including royalty.

[6] However, after World War I, Brougham Hall, in common with many other country houses, faced a severe financial crisis.
