Description
This is a shippon and barn range located approximately 200 meters northeast of Cross Hall Farmhouse, which is not included in the listing. The building is dated around 1680, although the exact year is unclear due to the illegibility of the fourth digit on the lintel of the shippon doorway. It was extended in the later 18th century and has undergone alterations, including 20th-century additions to the west side and south end, the latter of which has mostly been demolished.
Constructed from coursed squared sandstone with quoins and some handmade red brick, the building features a stone slate roof. It has a rectangular four-bay plan oriented on a north-south axis, containing lateral shippons in the center and at the north end, with a waggon bay at the south end and an 18th-century extension at the north end. The building is two stories tall and faces east, with blocked slit-breathers on the upper floor.
The first bay includes a segmental-arched waggon doorway with a chamfered surround, while the central bay features a Tudor-arched shippon doorway flanked by three-light windows with chamfered flush mullions, one of which is partly blocked. The fourth bay has a similar shippon doorway and window. Both doorways have deep monolithic lintels with chamfered soffits, and the central doorway displays raised lettering along with the date 168?. The north gable of the original range, now obscured by the 18th-century extension and 20th-century additions, appears to have at least one similar mullioned window.
The 18th-century extension includes a large rainwater head decorated with the Eagle-and-Child motif of the Stanley family. Inside, the stone range features massive stop-chamfered beams that support the upper floor, a double shippon in the center with wooden boskins on both sides, and a single shippon at the north end, also with similar boskins.
