Property Info: - Historical background: The manor house of Turnham Hall (historically known as Thurnam/Turneham Hall) forms the central hub of the old Turnham Estate in the village of Cliffe. The first building on the site was founded by Robert de Turnham during the reign of King Richard I, and was first documented in 1327, by which time it included its own chapel. By the mid-17th century it had become a fortified manor house, a Licence to Crenellate (or ‘fortify’) having originally been granted to a John Pylkington in 1477. The house was rebuilt several times over the centuries that followed, finally taking the form of the present Hall, built by William Burton circa 1800, and extended in 1820. It is said that traces of the old moat could still be detected until the 20th century. Rich with architectural detail, the house is of brick construction, partly rendered, with slate and pantile roofs and sash windows.

Parts of the site dating from 1680 onward fall within the 17th century Early Modern period, considered the beginning of the 'long 18th century' of Restoration/Georgian eras.
