Appleby Hall
Appleby Hall was a manor house or stately home built in the small hamlet of Appleby Parva, on the outskirts of Appleby Magna. A Manor was mentioned in the Domesday Book and there have been several houses on the site until the final building, a Classical style Stately Home known as Appleby Hall, was built in the 1830s. Like many landed families, the Moore family who owned it fell on hard times, and the Hall was demolished in the 1920s. The First Manors The Hamlet of Appleby Parva is originally thought to have been a Danish settlement. Listed in the Domesday Book as Apleberie, after the Battle of Hastings the Manor was given to the Norman, Henry De Ferrers, with his son Robert de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Derby acting as Lord. Nothing is known of the early Manor, or Manors on the site.
