MAWDESLEY HALL GREEN LANE SD 51 NW 9/158 Blackburn House 17.4.67 - II
Farmhouse, now house. Early C17 (probably surviving south wing of formerly larger house), with C19 addition, renovated c.1950. Coursed sandstone rubble on high chamfered plinth, with quoins (now strap pointed), addition of brick; slate roof. L-shaped plan: C17 range of 2 bays on east-west axis with outshut on south side, C19 addition on north side. Two storeys; present entrance on west side of C19 addition but original front probably faced east. Projecting east gable of wing has at ground floor the head and jambs of a chamfered C17 window which was probably transomed and of 10 or 12 lights but is now partly blocked and altered as a 6-light casement, at 1st floor an inserted or altered window, and in the topmost quoin at each side a large rectangular socket (probably for a bracket supporting formerly barge-boarded eaves); rebuilt masonry in the gable. Return side is stepped in 2 stages, the 1st an external chimney stack with moulded cornice and the 2nd a staircase outshut covering part of the front and all of the rear bay; forward of the chimney at ground floor is a 2-light chamfered window with hollow-moulded hoodmould but lacking the mullion, and in the outshut an altered or inserted window on each floor. Rear (west) gable has at ground floor a recessed formerly mullioned window of 5 (or 6) lights with a similar hoodmould, and set back rebuilt masonry in the gable. Cut down chimney corbelled out from 1st floor of north side of rear bay. Interior: 2 bays, divided by a post and rail partition, formerly wattle-and-daub filled but now with only the sill, posts and beam remaining: posts have carpenters marks, beam has stopped rounded chamfer on the outer side but is cut flush with the posts on the parlour side; 3 other beams with stopped rounded chamfer; parlour in front bay has large Tudor-arched stone fireplace with chamfered surround, and on the right hand side of this a Tudor-arched doorway with nicked lintel, incorporated in framing which partitions the whole of the staircase outshut from the rest (staircase altered); in north wall of rear bay an enlarged chamfered doorway to the C19 addition (remains of similar doorway in front bay now concealed); at 1st floor, a concealed fireplace in north wall of rear bay, possibly another in south wall of front bay. (Note: if wing of former hall, comparable with Mawdesley Hall, q.v. which has hall but lacks original wings).
