5/56 Building immediately north west of north west corner of Church House Farmhouse

II

Building of uncertain former purpose, now shippon and store, but perhaps a wing of the former farmhouse (dated 1589) which was taken down in the mid C19 (Fishwick). Partly handmade brick on a high plinth of watershot sandstone, partly random rubble with quoins, and partly modern brick; tiled roof, with stone gable copings which have obelisk finials. Rectangular plan of approximately 3 bays. Two storeys; south gable of old brick has a large blocked 4-light mullioned window with hoodmould on each floor, the surrounds rendered; west side has 3 chamfered Tudor-arched doorways, the first 2 coupled but of unequal height, and the 3rd altered as a window, and above the middle door a square door; north gable has 3 linked similar doorways at ground floor, (the first covered by tanks etc., the centre blocked by a flight of steps at right angles to the wall), and a door at the top of the steps with a window to the right of it. The east side wall is mostly modern brick, but old brick at the north east corner appears to have been linked with remains of similar masonry continuing to the east under a lean-to shed. Interior not of special interest. History: said to have been used as a chapel; in C16 and C17 was property of the Helme family (John Helme, priest 1478; John Helme, curate in Goosnargh 1583); old house, dated 1589, taken down "a few years ago" (Fishwick Goosnargh, 1871, p.184).
