Ambrose Hall

Ambrose Hall is a farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It is dated 1697 internally, although it is likely older, and underwent alterations in 1871. The building is constructed of stuccoed brick painted white and has a slate roof. It features a three-bay baffle-entry plan and stands two storeys high, with a first-floor band. The doorway, aligned with a large ridge chimney stack, is located at the junction of the second and third bays and is sheltered by a single-storey gabled porch with an arched opening. There are three 19th-century windows on each floor, all with wooden mullions and transoms, and hoodmoulds. The left gable has a single-storey lean-to porch, two small attic windows, and a gable chimney. The rear of the building includes a short outshut to the first bay and a porch to the third bay, similar to the one at the front, along with some sashed windows.

Inside, the housepart in the second bay and the kitchen in the third bay contain back-to-back inglenook fireplaces. The fireplace in the housepart features a tongue-stopped quarter-round moulded bressummer and a recessed panel above inscribed in relief with "W.S 1697," indicating William Shaw. The housepart also has a beam with tongue-stopped quarter-round moulding and two doorways leading to the first bay, which is now part of another dwelling. The first floor boasts numerous chamfered beams with cyma stops and some original timber-framed partitions. In the roof space, there is a large brick smoke hood and one collar truss with curved principals.

Historically, the Ambrose family has been associated with Woodplumpton since the 16th and 17th centuries, with William Ambrose noted as "of Ambrose Hall" in 1629.
