Thornhill Hall

The later building showed signs of renovation in the 16th century, when a paved floor, plaster walls and a chimney were added.

Thornhill Hall became the principal seat of the powerful Savile family.

[1] The Saviles later intermarried with the Calverley family, so that when Sir John Savile died in 1503 in Thornhill, he left provision in his will for his sister Alice, who had married Sir William Calverley.

[5] This large house had a secret underground passage, that lead to Thornhill Parish Church.

The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a grant for an architectural study of the ruins in the summer of 2011.
