Netherhall is a pele tower located in Cumberland, England, dating to the medieval period. The structure represents a characteristic form of fortified domestic architecture developed in the Border regions during the later medieval centuries, when such towers served both defensive and residential purposes for families of considerable standing. The tower's physical form and construction reflect the practical concerns of the period, when frontier instability made fortification a necessary feature of substantial houses in northern England.
