Monksheath Hall

Monksheath Hall is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with significant rebuilding in the mid to late 19th century and some alterations in the 20th century. It is constructed of English bond red brick on a sandstone plinth, featuring sandstone quoins. The roof is made of Kerridge stone-slate and there are four brick chimneys. The east front is two stories high with three gables, of which only the right gable retains original fabric. This gable includes two 20th-century two-light wooden casement windows, a blocked three-light chamfered wooden mullion window, and a large projecting brick chimney. While much of the plinth remains, the brickwork has been replaced, and there is some Victorian timber framing in the gables. The site was originally part of a grange belonging to the Abbey of Dievlacres in Leek, Staffordshire.
