Description

47 and 49 Quarmby Fold is a 16th-century building that is part of Quarmby Hall. It features hammer-dressed stone and a pitched stone slate roof with a catslide to the west. The building has two storeys and includes a string course and a moulded plinth.

On the front, there is a prominent six-light stone mullion and transom window with chamfered mullions set in double chamfered reveals, topped with a hoodmould. The ground floor has a three-light square mullioned window, also in double chamfered reveals, with the string raised to form a hoodmould. To the left, there is a range of three-light square mullioned windows that are flush with the wall. A Hart trippant badge is displayed in relief on the first floor.

The east side features a four-light stone mullioned and transomed window on the ground floor, with chamfered mullions in double chamfered reveals, and a three-light stone mullioned window with chamfered mullions in double chamfered reveals on the first floor.

Historically, Quarmby Hall was the residence of Hugh de Quarmby, a key figure in the notable Elland feud of the 14th century. The Hart Trippant was the crest of John Blythe, who was Lord of the Manor of Quarmby from 1574 to 1587.
