Clifton Hall was a fortified manor house in the Clifton Cumbria England. Dating from around 1400 it was constructed by either Elianor Engaine or her son-in-law William Wybergh and was held by the Wybergh family until the 19th century. Initially taking the form of an H-plan design built around a central hall around 1500 a three-story stone pele tower was added providing both additional security and acting as a status symbol for the family.
