WILLERBY WELL LANE TA 03 SW (east end, off) 7/46 Haltemprice Priory Farm 3.12.51 - II *

House. Late C15/early C16; right gable rebuilt late C17; left cross wing added and building re-fenestrated late C18. Red brick, some moulded and rubbed, with stone dressings; pantiled roof. 2 storeys, probably 4 bays originally. 2-window front. Ground floor: to left a large 6-panel door in 4-centred moulded brick surround under an ornate panel, now obscured, below moulded brick hood. Hoodmould to heraldic shield with latticed design above. To the right are 2 blocked C18 windows. First floor: two 3-light sliding sashes. Embedded in the brickwork are stone jambs indicating the former presence of regularly spaced mullioned windows as part of the original construction. Axial stack, tumbled-in brick to raised gables. Late C18 extension to left with similar windows to ground and first floor. Tumbled-in brick to raised gable, end stack. Rear elevation has stone quoins to right corner of main range and attached C16 tower beyond to right. Remains of 2-light original window to right return of main range with 4- centred arched lights, incised spandrels and moulded surround. Single-light windows with quoined jambs to tower. Interior has late C17 closed-string, dogleg staircase with square newels, bulbous column-on-vase balusters and moulded handrail. Original moulded beams and joist to first floor. Early C18 panelled doors and kitchen corner cupboard. Disused and derelict at time of resurvey. This building probably incorporates part of the buildings of Haltemprice Priory. The curious position of the door suggests that it may have extended further to the left. Interior not inspected.
