Barn And Attached Farm Buildings At Grange Farm

BISPHAM MALTKILN LANE SD 41 SE 4/36 Barn and attached farm buildings at Grange Farm 11-10-1968 II

Barn and attached farm buildings. Sandstone rubble with stone slate roof. Main barn aligned north-south. West wall has cart entrance with segmental brick arch. To its left is an inserted opening with steel lintel and with a pitching door above. To the left, beyond quoins which suggest that it is an addition, is a continuation of the barn which has a cart entrance with segmental brick arch, a window with plain reveals, and a blocked doorway to its right. The range at right angles is straight-jointed to the barn and so is probably later. The south wall has 5 windows with plain reveals on the ground floor. On the 1st floor is a window with chamfered surround of mid or late C18 type. Doors at left, to right of 1st window, and to right of 5th window. Pitching door above 3rd window. The north wall of this range, facing the road, has 2 openings with plain reveals on each floor. A break in the stonework shows that the western end of the building has been rebuilt. On the ground floor, now within a lean-to addition, is a blocked doorway with segmental head and with tooling of early C19 type. Re-set above it is a plaque: 'JA HA JA 1694'. Above the lean-to on the 1st floor is a mullioned window of 2 segmental lights with hood, probably C19. A local tradition says that the building was once used as a chapel, perhaps because of the ecclesiastical appearance of this window. Interior: not accessible at time of survey (March 1987).
