Westholme Hall

Westholme Hall is a manor house dated 1606, built for John Dowthet and restored in 1892. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with dressed quoins and features pantiled roofs, along with a triple course of sandstone flags at the eaves and ashlar stacks. The building has an H-plan layout and stands three storeys tall.

The central section has three bays with a gabled centre and projecting single-bay gabled cross wings. The main entrance features a doorway with ovolo-moulded jambs and jewelled stops, set within a late 19th-century solid gabled porch located in the right bay. To the left of the door is a six-light mullioned-and-transomed hall window under a stone relieving arch. Other windows throughout the building are two-, three-, and four-light stone mullioned-and-transomed windows with leaded lights, some of which have been restored. The gables are adorned with moulded coping and pyramidal finials, and a multi-faced sundial is positioned on the central gable. The left return of the building has a central external stack that is stepped above the eaves, while the right return features a similar stack that is corbelled on the first floor. The rear of the house includes two gabled projecting staircase towers, with the right tower having been rebuilt. The steeply-pitched roof is fitted with late 19th-century corniced end stacks and several similar ridge stacks.

Inside, the main hall contains five stone doorways with chamfered reveals and four-centred heads, along with a wide Tudor-arched fireplace in a square surround that bears the inscription "1606 JOHN DOWTHET" in the spandrels. The former Great Chamber, now known as the Upper Hall, features six similar doorways and a small Tudor-arched fireplace, as well as an ornamental plaster frieze and two raised plaster shields of the Scrope family below. A late 19th-century wooden gallery is also present. The kitchen includes a wide segmental stone fireplace arch with chamfered arris and jewelled stops, along with several four-centred stone doorways, small Tudor-arched fireplaces, and two 17th-century doors.

There are late 19th-century to early 20th-century extensions, attached outbuildings, and detached farm buildings at the rear, which are not of special interest.
