NEWTON-ON-THE-MOOR HAZON NU 10 SE NU 193044 6/179 Hazon House 16/6/88 GV II

L House, dated 1684 with initials R E (Robert and Elizabeth Lisle) above door, perhaps incorporating earlier fabric. Extended to rear in late C18; west extension dated 1887 on kneeler. Squared stone with cut dressings; C18 parts with tooled-and-margined dressings; 1887 part squared tooled stone. Welsh slate roof with some stacks rebuilt in brick and rendered.

South elevation 2 storeys, 2 + 3 bays. Right part is C17 house: central vertical-panelled door with overlight, in opening with old moulded jambs and C19 lintel; armorial date panel in moulded surround above. Window openings also have old moulded jambs and later lintels. Eaves cornices; coped gables on moulded kneelers; rebuilt end stacks. 1887 left part has coped gable on moulded kneelers, stepped-and-corniced left end and ridge stacks. All windows 6-pane sashes. Left return shows C19 part-glazed door with latticed overlight, and 12-pane sash; set back left C18 rear extension with 16-pane sashes and short 2-storey wing to far left. Right return shows 6-pane sash with blocked C17 window to right, rear quoins of C17 house and 16-pane sash in extension.

Interior largely remodelled in late C19; C17 parlour fireplace has flat- pointed arch in square moulded frame with cut-back swell frieze and cornice above.

Note: The Lisle family held Hazon since the mid C16; the hall of the present house was heated by a lateral rather than an end stack, suggesting that the 1684 house was a remodelling of an older structure.
