Thornhill Hall

Thornhill Hall was a medieval manor house and its ruins survive on a moated island in Rectory Park, Thornhill, West Yorkshire, England. The ruins are listed as grade II. and the moat, with the surrounding grounds, is a scheduled monument.

Excavations carried out between 1964 and 1972 proved that there had been two halls on the island, a 13th-century building with clay-bonded foundation walls, and a later stone H-plan building from about 1450. The later building showed signs of renovation in the 16th century, when a paved floor, plaster walls and a chimney were added.
