Barn Circa 5 Metres East Of Holmeswood Hall

This barn, located approximately 5 meters east of Holmeswood Hall, is likely from the 18th century but includes some earlier elements, such as a plaque dated 1568. It is constructed from handmade brick on a chamfered stone plinth, with some dressed stone at the north end, and features a stone slate roof. The barn has three bays running north-south, with a narrower bay at the north end, which may be the remains of an earlier house.

The east side of the barn, which faces the road, includes a segmental-headed wagon entrance where a former porch has been demolished, and there are diamond-pattern breathers in the wall to the right. The right-hand end of this side is made of large rectangular sandstone blocks up to mid-level, which continues around the north gable and the west side of this end.

A notable feature is the south gable wall, which has a recessed 4-light stone mullioned window with chamfered mullions, a hollow-moulded surround, and a hoodmould. Above this window, in the slightly set-back gable, is a carved stone plaque featuring the Hesketh double-headed eagle, similar to that found at Rufford Old Hall, and above it is a roundel with a ropework surround containing a stylised letter "T".
