017.07 | Adjoining the present house stands the ancient Castle of Hutton. The house has stile much of the old border aspect and was obviously erected at a period when security from hostile attacks was more looked to than comfort and elegance. The part alluded to is a Square Tower with battlements built in that massive style which was necessary for defence. This is supposed to be an appendage to the ancient castle. The ancient castle of Hutton was destroyed in the year 1497. It was taken and sacked by Earl Surrey who led the English forces against Perkin Warbec According to a date which was recently to be seen above the principal entrance The present house of Hutton Hall was built in 1573. It is in the Elizabethan stile of architecture. The interior is fitted up in a comparative modern style. - From the Humes, Hutton Hall was purchased about the beginning of the seventeenth century by the Johnstons of Hilton whose family seat it was within a few years ago. It is now the property of Mr Mackenzie Grieve, and tenanted by Mr. Leonard Lisle with 65 acres of land, who has divided the Hall into three tenements. It is fast going to decay. |
