Wharton Hall is a complex of medieval and early modern structures in Westmorland comprising a gatehouse, banqueting hall, and kitchen. The site dates primarily to the sixteenth century, representing the domestic and defensive architecture of a substantial gentry residence of that period. The gatehouse demonstrates the continued symbolic importance of fortified entrances in early modern aristocratic households, whilst the banqueting hall and kitchen reflect the scale and refinement of hospitality expected of families of standing. These structures survive as significant evidence of the domestic arrangements and social practices of Tudor and early Stuart Westmorland.
