II
Formerly known as: Hird Farmhouse ECCUP LANE. Farmhouse. 1760. For Robert Midgley, steward to the Cookridge Hall estate. Coursed stone. Plain stone quoins and window surrounds. Stone slate roof with coped gable ends with kneelers, shaped stone eaves brackets. 2 storeys with garrets and cellars, 3 windows. 2-light sliding casements with glazing bars, centre 1st-floor single light. Small blocked window in each gable. Central door with narrow overlight. End stacks, stone right, rebuilt in rendered brick left. INTERIOR: the entrance is into a narrow hall with segmental arch to staircase, cellar door right. The stairs rise in straight flights to the attic storey, the treads are shallow and turned column balusters support the handrail. The farm is well documented: the Cookridge Hall records describe the building of the square, arch-roofed cellar with stone table and the master mason James Lapish is named as the man who carved the 16 'corbs' (corbels) for the guttering. An important survival. (Cole, D: Rectors, Squires, Stewards... in Adel and Cookridge: 1986-: 33).
