II
Small manor house, now house. Probably late C16 or early C17, altered in later C17 (datestone 1670); derelict in mid C20, and recently restored. Handmade red brick on plinth of coursed sandstone rubble, part containing the principal elements of former timber-framed construction; with sandstone chimney stacks and composition tile roofs. L-plan formed by a formerly timber-framed range on a north-south axis, with a late C17 front range added across the north end, and an outshut added in the angle. 2 storeys, with attics to the 4-window front range; this has a sandstone plinth, a 2-course band, a plain doorway in the centre, a rectangular datestone set low in the wall to the left with a deep chamfered surround and raised lettering "B H H. G A. 1670", and rectangular C20 windows with rendered lintels; gable chimneys and an added chimney attached to the left corner. The rear wing has a chamfered stone plinth carried round, 4 windows and a central round-headed doorway in the centre of the west side, and on the east side 2 external stone chimney stacks with offsets, one very close to the south corner and the other now surrounded by the outshut. INTERIOR: the rear wing contains 6 bays of timber-framed structure with full-height stop-chamfered wallposts which have chamfered square feet, massive stop-chamfered lateral beams and large closely-set joists with tongue-stopped chamfer (some recently replaced); and large king-post roof trusses with raked struts (some with carpenter's marks) and wind-braced purlins, some wind-braces missing and the purlins at the south end with vacant windbrace mortices against the present gable wall showing that the range formerly extended further to the south; at the south end, a fine moulded Tudor-arched fireplace on each floor, close to the gable wall; purlin roof to the front range, with some re-used timbers. HISTORY: formerly the property of a branch of the Hesketh family of Rufford.
