Wardle Fold Cottage and Attached Barn

Wardle Fold Cottage and the attached barn date from the late 18th century. They are constructed of watershot stone with stone slate roofs. The cottage is three stories tall and has a central entrance. The barn features a central waggon entrance, outshuts at the rear, and a small lean-to extension at the front. The cottage has a doorway with monolithic square-cut jambs and a lintel, with two flat-faced mullioned windows on either side. The ground floor includes earlier coursed rubble stonework, while the first and second floors have 8-light mullion windows, although a total of 10 lights have been bricked in and three mullions removed. The barn has long and short stone jambs with a timber lintel over the waggon door, and a door opening to the left has been blocked up. It is said that John Wesley used this building as a meeting place.
