8/54 Wighill Manor Farmhouse, (previously listed as 2.9.52 Watson's Manor Farmhouse)
GV II
House. c1791 with remains of c1580. Coursed squared limestone, graduated stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays. Central 6-panel door, with top two panels glazed, in a reused late C16 classical surround. The doorway has Tudor arch with architrave and cornice; flanking fluted Corinthian columns with strapwork decoration to bases (partially buried) support an entablature with dosserets and cornice. Above the door is a plaque with armorial bearings; 2 shields in cartouches are placed on the cornice. The remainder of the facade is C18 and later: 4-pane sash windows throughout, with splayed vousoirs to flat arches; the ground-floor windows longer than those to first floor. End stacks rendered. A 1926 copy of a painting of Wighill Hall in 1791 is in the posession of the present owners; a note on the back reveals that the present farm stands on the exact site of the 1580 hall built by Sir Robert Stapilton and pulled down in c1791. A new hall was built on higher ground and in 1811 Granville Anson Chetwynd Stapylton sold the estate to Richard Fountain Wilson.
