Oxendale Hall

Oxendale Hall is a house built in 1656, constructed from sandstone rubble with a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and an attic. The facade features a cross-wing on the left and a bay with gabled attic dormers on either side of a two-storey porch with an attic. The windows are mullioned, displaying ovolo moulding and chamfer, and are topped with hoods. Much of the stonework around the windows has been renewed, and some sills have been lowered. The cross-wing has a six-light window on the ground floor, a five-light window above, and a three-light attic window. The bay to the left of the porch has windows with a similar number of lights, while the right side features four-light windows on the ground and first floors and a three-light window in the attic. The porch includes three-light windows on the first floor and attic. The door is framed by a worn moulded stone surround with a segmental head and an inscription reading '1656 LRO'. The gables are coped with kneelers and finials, and there are chimneys to the left, to the right of the porch, and on the right-hand gable. The quoins of the right-hand gable wall appear to have been replaced.

Inside, the door opens against a firehood baffle. In the room to the left of the porch, the firehood bressumer remains, along with two ovolo-moulded axial main beams. The cross-wing is divided by a wall made of timber and wattle-and-daub and is accessed through two timber doorways. On the first floor of the cross-wing, there is a blocked moulded stone fireplace with a plaster overmantel decorated with plant motifs, including deer and flowers, and the inscription '1657 LRO' in the center. A first-floor window at the rear of the house features a diamond pane painted with the inscription 'LOR 1658', which appears to be genuine.
