Service Wing Of Former Worden Hall (Adjoining Barn)

The service wing of the former Worden Hall, which is adjacent to a barn, dates back to the 18th century and has undergone alterations. It is constructed of brick with a stone plinth and dressings, topped with a slate roof that is partly hipped. The building has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys high. The west block, which is taller, features five bays and has a hipped roof. Its west wall includes five window openings on each floor, all with stone sills and gauged brick heads; some of these windows are blocked, while the others have been replaced with windows that have glazing bars.

On the south side, which includes a lower two-storey wing to the right, there are three similar ground floor windows, one large altered opening with French windows, and at the right end, a wide round-headed doorway with radiating glazing bars. Above this doorway is a stairlight window, also with glazing bars. The first-floor windows appear to be later additions, with three large cross windows to the left and eight mullioned lights to the right, both of which have continuous dressed stone surrounds.

Inside, the ground floor features a servants' hall and a kitchen located in the wing, which contains a triple-arched fireplace. The semi-circular flanking arches have keystones inscribed with "17 36," while the center arch is a wide depressed arch with multiple keystones. The first-floor room above the servants' hall has muntin and rail panelling on both side walls, including doors, with the panels showcasing intricate linear geometrical inlay patterns. This panelling is likely significantly older than the 18th century and may have been removed from Old Worden Hall. The first floor of the wing also contains other panelled doors and part of a good early 18th-century staircase.

Historically, Worden Hall was the residence of the Farington family, the principal landowners of Leyland, who moved to this site, formerly known as Shaw Hall, from Worden Old Hall in the early 18th century. The house was rebuilt in 1840 and was recently destroyed by fire.
