Jaque Royd And Attached Barn

Jaque Royd and the attached barn are a house dating from 1680, as indicated by the initials 'GBJB'. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and has a stone slate roof. It features a hall and cross-wing plan that projects to the north and south, with a three-room south front. The open hall retains a large double chamfered mullioned and transomed window, originally consisting of 14 lights and featuring a hoodmould with a straight return. There is a small square fire window with a chamfered surround and a doorway with a basket arch and spandrels. To the right of the door is a 4-light double chamfered mullioned window, although it is missing two mullions. Next to it is another chamfered 4-light mullioned window, also lacking two mullions, flanked by two 2-light flat-faced mullioned windows, with one mullion removed. The cross-wing was faced around 1880 and has two stacks at the ridge. The left-hand return wall shows that the original wall was flush with the main range, and a room was added, creating the projecting cross-wing. The rear of the building has been partially rendered and significantly altered.

The attached barn, which is partly built onto the right end of the house, features a king post truss with a single aisle towards the house. One post remains in the outer bay, braced to the tie beam and arcade plate, and there are four remaining bays.

Inside, the open hall has a king post and angle strut truss over a smoke bay, beneath which is a stone fireplace with a moulded surround and a basket arch lintel carved to resemble fielded panels. The junction of the hall and cross-wing originally had a complete close-studded wall with a closed king post truss and struts parallel to the king post, with posts braced to the tie beam. The cross-wing features a king post truss with six 'V' struts, and a timber mullioned window is preserved loose.
