GV II
House. Dated 1670 with alterations C18. Rendered, Westmorland slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays, with slightly recessed C19 bay added to left. Central C20 glazed door with long and short jambs stones and lintel with elaborate carving in relief of central flower motif and flanking scrolls. Windows to left and right are 8-pane sashes in stone architraves. First floor - central round-arched sash with glazing bars; 4-pane sashes to left and right. Stone gutter brackets, stone stacks far left and to right of centre. Right return: first-floor sash window in stone architrave with datestone above carved with cross and saltire cross. Rear: 2-storey wing projects to right. It has recessed mullion windows with hoodmoulds, and a limestone plaque over the doorway has a coat of arms with the crosses similar to those on the datestone, and a sheaf of corn above the helmet. Dole Bank was originally called Dall Bank; in c1230 William de Dall established a chantry chapel in his courtyard, but it was not certainly surviving in the C16. The Hearth Tax return (c1670) shows that Dole Bank was occupied by Thomas Berney and had 7 hearths - one of the largest houses in the district. At about that time Mary Ward was attempting to found an order of nuns at Dole Bank, but her attempt was prevented by the prosecutions for treason of local Catholic gentry in 1678 following the 'Popish Plot'. The house is still visited by pilgrims. Father Hugh Aveling, 'The Catholic Recusants of the W R of Yorkshire, 1558-1790', Proc Leeds Phil and Hist Soc X Part VI, Sep 1963, p 238-9.
