Ewood Hall

Ewood Hall is a large farmhouse dated 1641, which has been altered and is now a house. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof with external chimneys at both gables, along with an altered ridge chimney that replaced the original rear wall chimney stack. The building has a shallow U-shaped plan with three unequal bays, the third bay likely originally containing a through passage, and it has been later extended to the rear, giving it double depth.

The farmhouse stands three storeys tall, with an integral porch on the left side of the third bay that has a moulded Tudor-arched surround. This porch is linked by a hoodmould to a 12-light ovolo-moulded mullion and transom window to the right. Above the door is a datestone with a chamfered surround, inscribed with the year 1641. The first and second bays have similar 12 and 16-light windows, while the upper floors feature hollow-chamfered windows with configurations of 5, 6, 2, and 5 lights at the first floor, and 2, 4, 2, and 2 lights above, all with hoodmoulds. The left return wall has one window on each floor in front of the stack, with 2, 2, and one light. At the right end, the chimney stack has a round-headed firelight to the front, and the wall extending from the chimney includes a 3-light window with a hoodmould. Other openings at the rear are less notable and are all vertical rectangular.

Inside, the housepart in the middle bay features a large moulded segmental-arched fireplace, although the interior has been altered to serve as a passage. The original kitchen in the third bay has a similar but larger fireplace with a chamfered surround, while the parlour and chamber above in the first bay have moulded Tudor-arched fireplaces.

Historically, Ewood Hall was occupied by Charles Gregory, a yeoman and member of the Presbyterian classis in 1646. His will, proved in 1649, included an inventory totaling £349:13:07, which featured "two pair of looms," a "library" valued at £3:10:00, and "money in his trunk" amounting to £112:19:06, along with debts and rents in arrears of £51:14:09. Ewood Hall is an exceptional survival of the few houses of this type and period in the district.
