Thornton Hall, High Coniscliffe

Thornton Hall is a privately owned 16th century manor house (now a farmhouse) at High Coniscliffe, near Darlington, County Durham.

A two-storey entrance porch offcentre carries an embattled parapet.

The rear range was added in about 1630 by Sir Francis Bowes who was High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1664 and who was attainted for his part in the English Civil War and was obliged to compound for the return of his forfeited estate.

Elizabeth Bowes heiress to the property married Rev Robert Croft who was the owner in 1834.
