SOWERBY BRIDGE LUDDENDEN LANE SE 0225-0325 & SE 0425 (west side), Luddenden 6/124 & 7/124 Foot Front garden wall with 3 doorways attached to east front of Kershaw - House GV II Garden wall with 3 doorways. Dated 1660, partly rebuilt. Coursed squared stone. Wall, enclosing rectangular garden, has doorway in east wall, opposite main entrance to Kershaw House (qv), and 2 in west wall flanking house. Wall is approx 3 metres high with quoins and 2 courses of roll-moulded coping. Doorway in west wall, to south of house, and facing west has stop-chamfered quoined, ogee-headed surround, the lintel having incised panel with date. South wall curves in S shape and has a chamfered arched light in south-east bend. Doorway in east wall, facing east, has round arch rising above wall and stop-chamfered moulded surround. The north wall and its return to the house, partially crenellated and with doorway to north of house, are rebuilt. Kershaw House belonged to James Murgatroyd in the first half of the C17. In his will of 1653 James bequeathed the house to his youngest son, Thomas, who re-edified the house and whose initials with the date 1650 are over the main doorway. It has been suggested that the date 1660 on the south-west doorway indicates the completion of his work. 'Antiquarians at Midgley.
