Todmorden Edge South

This is a house, built in 1697. It is constructed from dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The south front features a single-storey gabled porch, dated on the lintel of the moulded doorway. There is coping and kneelers with incised spiral decoration. To the left is a double-chamfered mullioned window that originally had four lights, but now lacks two mullions. Above this is a two-light window. Three symmetrically placed stacks rise from the ridge, with coped gables and kneelers. The right-hand return wall has a chamfered mullioned and transomed window of twelve lights, with a renewed lintel and king mullion. A four-light window sits above this. There is a window with a double-chamfered surround on the first floor. The rear of the house retains a double-chamfered mullioned window of seven lights with king mullions, and a three-light chamfered window above. A cross stair-window is present, and an altered cross window on the left-hand side is said to be where John Wesley preached. Wesley first visited the house on 6th May 1747. William Grimshaw held the first Quarterly meeting there on 18th October 1748. The barn (listed separately) bears the initials of the Quaker owners.
