Salkeld Hall

The current house was constructed in the late 16th century using walls from previous building(s) that stood on the site.

Ownership was passed to Colonel Cholmley, who built a new house on the site, and before the year of 1688 it became the property of Mr Charles Smallwood.

[2] During his occupation of the house Lacy's servant (a deserted batman) was (under instruction) responsible for the carving of Lacy's Caves and allegedly attempting to blow up the stones at the nearby Long Meg and Her Daughters stone circle with gunpowder so that the field could be ploughed.

Ownership between this and the current is unknown, however in 1847 Robert Hodgson was still the reported owner and had made great improvements to the house, offices and gardens.

A number of outbuildings to the south-east of the property, which at one time would have been self-contained two-storey houses, are now in ruins.
