Moresby Hall was originally a late medieval stone pele tower, founded by Morsby family. In the 17th century, the tower was absorbed, in the construction of a country mansion, with a front façade of 1615. The tower, which retains part of its stone spiral stair, is in the north-west part of the house and is called Rosmerta Cottage. To the east is the site of the hall range, with a crosspassage and in the late 17th and early 20th century, more additions and alterations were made to the house. 2 miles north-east is Hayes Castle and 7 miles south is Egremont Castle.
