(NO 8315 7211) Hallgreen Castle (NR)

OS 6" map (1938)

An effaced date on the front of Hallgreen Castle is supposed to be 1376. 'There is every appearance of its having been surrounded by a moat' with drawbridge, etc. The castle has been added to at various times.

New Statistical Account (NSA) 1845

Hallgreen Castle is an L-planned late 16th century house, with an earlier nucleus, to which a more modern mansion has been attached to north and west. The fronts to south and east are old work, although that to the east has been partly rebuilt. The castle is said to have been founded in 1376. It is still occupied.
