Dalton Hall, Cumbria

Dalton Hall is a country house near Burton-in-Kendal in northern England.

Major additions were made to the large Georgian mansion[2] in 1859–60 by Edmund Geoffrey Stanley Hornby (1839-1923), a Deputy Lieutenant for Lancashire,[3] son and heir of Edmund Hornby (1773-1857), MP, to the designs of the Lancaster architect Edward Graham Paley.

The building was demolished in 1968 and replaced in 1968–72 by a much smaller new house designed by Clough Williams-Ellis, his last commission.

[2][4] Pevsner described it as "a stately doll's house" which "sits inside the ghost of its predecessor".

[4] The outbuildings have been converted to serve a number of commercial purposes, including rental cottages, a self-storage facility, and the Dalton Hall Business Centre.
