2/120 Cragg Hall 4-10-1967 - II
House, 1693 with possible early C17th remains. Sandstone rubble with stone slate roof. Unusual plan, with gable entry and with double depth achieved by having a long front range and 3 short parallel roofs at rear. 3 storeys, with 2 moulded drip courses. Windows on ground and 1st floors double-chamfered. At the left is a blocked window, then one of one light, and 4 of 2 lights with sills lowered. At the left on the 1st floor there is a blocked window. Further right there are 2 of 2 lights. A 3rd window, to the right, has been altered and has blocked surrounds to left and right. The 4 2nd floor windows have rebated and chamfered surrounds with their central mullions removed. The present doorway, to the right of the 2nd 2-light window, is a C19th insertion and has a chamfered surround. The gables have copings with kneelers and chimneys with weathered offsets and moulded cornices. The original doorway is in the west gable wall. It has a moulded surround with shaped lintel inscribed: '1693 WB IB'. The lintel is flanked by detached inverted console brackets and has a broken segmental pediment. Partly within the pediment is an attached ball finial with a base inscribed: 'HB'. Above the doorway the lst and second floors each have a cross window with flat-faced mullion and transom, cyma-moulded surround, and cornice. To the left the west wall of the rear wing has a 3-light window to each floor, the upper one with stepped centre light. Inside, the main room has a wide fireplace with moulded segmental arch. To its right is a moulded doorway, now blocked, but originally entering the lobby which formed the main entrance. The rear wall of this room has 2 chamfered doorways, one now blocked leading to the kitchen and one leading to the stair hall. The rear wall of the kitchen has a wide fireplace, somewhat altered. The open-well stair has a closed string and barley-sugar balusters. Recorded by RCHM in May 1981. Their report suggests that the main fireplace may have replaced a firehood and that the dividing wall between the 2 front rooms was originally of timber.
