Hawthorn House.
Dand were the major landowners in the area so your place was probably rented from them by the Craiggs family. Dandfield Place was obviously named as a tribute to the Dands,George Dand was in the Moorhouse Farm until the opencast era and he sold up to them and went up to the borders for a few years.On retirement he bought Lucker Hall which was subsequently destroyed by fire in the late 80's or early 90's resulting in the deaths of both him and his wife.
