Calton: what to know before moving day
Calton Hall, of medieval origin and now Grade II listed, was the Lambert family home. After the Restoration, Lambert was exiled to Guernsey and the house and land went to Lord Fauconberg, who returned them to the family. Around it are Glendower House and Glendower Cottage, Calton Lodge, Nelson Farmhouse, The Rookery and Manor Farmhouse, all stone and several with 17th century parts.
Hall Brow is the lane in the hamlet, postcode BD23 4AD, and Calton Lane runs down to Airton Bridge, a low stone arch over the Aire. The Pennine Way passes between the village and the river, and Calton is on the Pennine Cycleway, National Cycle Network route 68. In 1851, 33 of its 75 residents were called Shackleton, so check the house name as well as the surname on the booking.
