4/70 Blake Hall Farmhouse 11.11.1966 II

Farmhouse, probably the altered remains of a reduced C16 H-plan hall-house. Roughcast brick with stone quoins, slate roof. T-plan: one-bay hall range with 2-bay crosswing on the left. Two storeys; present door close to junction with wing; externally the features of interest are mullioned windows in the front and rear of the hall part: to the right of the door a stone mullion window of 5 lights with ovolo and fillet mullions, jambs, and head, chamfered sill; at the rear a recessed 6-light window on each floor, the lower with a hood mould, both recessed with chamfered mullions and all rendered over, and to the left of that at 1st floor a little square window like a firewindow. Interior: very substantial timbers on both floors of both parts, principally: in the hall part one lateral and 2 longitudinal beams with cyma-stopped broad chamfer; in the partition between this and the present entrance passage, visible only in the passage, the back of an exceptionally large hearth beam or bressummer (on the landing above an irregular projection which may be part of the smoke hood); at 1st floor similar chamfered beams, including 3 in the crosswing which suggest that the roof space contains trusses of corresponding interest. History: C16 and C17 home of the Midgehall family; a Catholic missionary priest, Thomas Whitaker, captured at "Mr. Midgehall's of Blake Hall in Goosnargh" in 1643, was hanged, drawn, and quartered at Lancaster in 1646. Formerly contained carved oak table lettered "A.M.1630". Reference: Fishwick Goosnargh pp.168-71. (Other similarly reduced houses in this parish include Bullsnape Hall, and Ashes White Hill and White Lee farmhouses q.v.).
