Upper Headley Hall

Upper Headley Hall is a remarkably unaltered hall built by the Midgley family during the reign of Elizabeth I. It is constructed of coursed gritstone with a stone slate roof. The gabled west wing features moulded saddle stones and shaped kneelers, one inscribed "W Midgley" and the other dated 1589. The porch is dated 1604. Stone slate roofs are topped with 19th-century corniced chimneys.

The entrance front has a sequence of chamfered mullioned-transomed windows, unusually retaining their original leaded glazing and wrought iron casements. The main hall window has a drip mould and two rows of eight lights, with leaded panes of an unusual design. The central pane of each light is diamond-shaped, and the top three panes are round-headed with subsidiary divisions to the spandrels, creating a Perpendicular tracery effect. Chamfered mullioned windows are also present on the side and rear elevations.

The steeply gabled porch has moulded saddle stones, shaped kneelers, and a crowning carved stone finial. The outer doorway has moulded jambs and a four-centred arch within a squared head, with a drip mould above. The spandrels are inscribed "IM" and "1604," the drip mould is carved with "LM" at the return and "M" in the apex of the gable, and the original door has sliding bar sockets in the wall.

The interior retains carved oak doors, rail and muntin panelling and partitioning, and a staircase.
