Rishworth Lodge

Rishworth Lodge is a former shooting lodge for Lord Savile, now functioning as a restaurant and house, likely built in the third quarter of the 19th century. The building features punched stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof, and is designed in a fully developed Domestic Gothic style, with two storeys and attic gables.

The south front consists of three bays. The first two bays each have coped gables with intricate kneelers. The first bay includes a doorway with a shouldered lintel, which is sheltered by a shallow stone-roofed porch adorned with a trefoil on corbelled jambs. The return walls are decorated with the Savile monogram and coat of arms, featuring an owl. The original door is fitted with elaborate wrought iron hinges. On the first floor, there are two cross-windows separated by a colonnette, with the gable oversailing to form a hoodmould above this window. The gable also features three arched lights. The second bay has a two-storey canted bay window with cross-windows and a quatrefoil at the apex. The third bay boasts a large pair of cross-windows with an elaborate hoodmould above. The left-hand return wall has cross-windows on both the ground floor and first floor. At the rear, there is a stair-outshut with pointed arched windows that have trefoil heads, arranged in a progressively stepped manner. The building is also notable for its many elaborate chimney stacks and a corbel table beneath the eaves.

Inside, the entrance hall features a medieval-style fireplace with a canopy and corbels that rest on engaged colonnettes with water leaf capitals. The hall has elaborately moulded beams supported by carved corbels. The stairhall includes a window with coloured glass and a dog-leg staircase. At the rear, the original kitchen retains a louvered roof.
