II
House, now farmhouse in 2 occupations. Mid C16 timber-frame encased in stone c1768 (dated) and early C19. Punch-dressed stone with ashlar dressings, stone slate roof. 2 storeys. Rusticated quoins, plinth, ground-floor band, lst-floor band. 4-bay facade with 2 bays added to right of C19 stonework but with dated doorway. Doorway in 2nd bay has Gibbs surround, pulvinated frieze and cornice. Above, window with Gibbs surround (blocked) and apron . Ground-floor windows have flat arches with raised keystones and projecting sills. lst-floor windows have projecting sills and square heads. Shaped gutter brackets. 2 bays to right have doorway with Gibbs surround and triple keystone inscribed "T 1768 W" over which is cartouche with Savile coat of arms and carved face to apex of late C17 character and probably reused. Outer right-hand bay has window to each floor with monolithic lintel and sill retaining 16-pane sashes. Hipped gable to left with end stack; one other stack to ridge at junction with 2-bay addition. L-shaped to rear with 2-bay wing under hipped roof. lst-bay has tall stairwindow with impost blocks and keystone, 2nd-bay has windows with plain stone surrounds and projecting sills. Later C19 or C20 brick kitchen extension and stack of no interest.
Interior: 4-bay earlier timber-frame with posts on padstones and large king-post trusses without struts with cambered tie-beams and straight braces to ridge, one a closing truss with vertical struts. At right angles to this range C18 oak fish-bone king-post roof the purlins tenoned and pegged through the principal rafters. Some C18 fireplaces with original surrounds and 6-panelled doors. One cell has stop-chamfered spine-beam and bressumer with board-and-muntin wall with above a portion of a close-studded wall with original clay infill.
Jeremiah Marsden, a Puritan Minister who seems to have preached in the parish 1660-62 is recorded as living at Haigh Hall (Booth, p8). In the early C18 it was the home of the steward of George, 3rd Earl of Cardigan, one William Elmsall who bought cloth from Yorkshire Clothiers for the Earl and his friends. The Earl stayed here in 1730 (Booth, p13). The Savile coat of arms over the door is explained by the connection between the Saviles, Lords of the Manor during the C16 and C17, and the Cardigans through marriage. Other members of the Elmsall family were incumbents of East Ardsley - Henry Elmsall 1716-1758 and his son Henry 1772-1797, who may have lived here also as the living in the C18 was held in plurality with St. Mary's Woodkirk (q.v.) and this is at a mid point between the 2 churches.
