Description
This is a house, originally comprising numbers 30 (Shepley Hall) and 32, and dating from 1608, though it has undergone alterations in the 19th century and more recently. It is constructed of thinly coursed rubble with quoins, and has a stone slate roof. The building has a double pile plan and a two-gabled front. A two-storey, projecting porch stands near the centre of the front, featuring a wide entrance with a deep, arched lintel bearing the inscribed letters "ANNO DOMINI 1608 RH EH" and possible builders’ marks. The first floor of the porch has an 8-light mullioned and transomed window, which is double chamfered. The right gable has a 2-light window to the ground floor and a 3-light window to the first floor, both double chamfered and with hood mould. Altered windows are on the right-hand side. The left-hand part (number 32) has been rendered and the windows on its left side appear to be 19th century. A 19th or 20th-century projecting stack on the gable partially obscures a former 4-light window and a 3-light window of earlier date. A range of three early 19th-century cottages, originally separate, is attached to the rear of number 30 and has been incorporated into the main house. These cottages have been altered to the front, but retain 3-light windows to the rear at first-floor level, and an entrance and a 4-light window to the ground floor; the right-hand end has been altered.
Inside number 32, there is a good original plaster frieze depicting affronted mermaids. The ceiling is partitioned, but retains mouldings featuring circles with central motifs, squares with Tudor roses, fleur-de-lys, and the date 1609. The central part of the ceiling is missing. The house was built on the site of an earlier house by Robert Hepworth.
