Martholme Gatehouse and outer archway

Martholme manor house dates from the 13th century when the house belonged to the de Fitton family. It was passed through marriage to the Hesketh family and re-built in 1577 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. During that time the Lords of the Manor would carry out their own code of justice on local law breakers and this was dispensed at the Gatehouse. The Gatehouse can be seen in the picture with the Outer Archway which was added in 1607. The remaining buildings are located off to the left and obscured by trees. Manor House - Link
