Description
Todd Hall is a house dated 1630, which was restored in 1938 by A.C.M. Lillie after being derelict for 10 years. The building features brick construction on a stone plinth, with stone quoins and dressings, rendered mullion windows, and a stone slate roof. It has three chimneys: one located forward of the ridge and two at the rear, which do not correspond to the original main fireplace's position.
The house consists of three bays with projecting wings of unequal width at the first and third bays, and a short rear extension to the second bay. It is two and a half storeys tall, with gabled wings that step in slightly from the outer corners. The first wing, which is wider, contains the staircase and features a window with a hoodmould on each floor, comprising five, four, and three lights. The second wing, which houses the porch, has upper windows of three and two lights, and a moulded stone doorcase with a Tudor-arched lintel inscribed with:
1630 W(?) IC
Between the wings are two windows; the ground floor window has been altered, while the other has five lights. The left return wall features two five-light windows under one hoodmould, along with a window above on each floor, comprising six and three lights. The right return wall has windows on each floor with six, six, and three lights. The rear wall includes some small modern wooden mullion windows.
Inside, there is an inglenook with a stone heck post and a moulded bressummer in the third bay, along with quarter-round moulded beams and a spiral newel staircase that extends to the full height of the building. There is a cavity behind the fireplace in the inglenook, believed to be a priesthole but likely a smoke hood. A "decoy hole" was reported in 1938, though its location is not specified. The first floor features primitive ornamental painting of the crucifixion in a 17th-century style, as noted in the Lancashire Daily Post on May 20, 1938.
