No longer owned by the Wharton family, it was built by Sir Thomas Wharton in 1436 as a fortified manor house. The family name, originally spelled de Querton (of norman ancestry), changed to de Wherton, de Wharton, and eventually to Wharton, although other spellings of the name are common. www.visitcumbria.com/pen/whartonhall.htm
