Farm Buildings To Former Newland Hall

These farm buildings enclose a rectangular yard on three sides, with the east and south ranges being the most significant. Dating primarily to the 17th century, with alterations in the 19th and 18th centuries respectively, the buildings are constructed of coursed squared sandstone, with stone slate roofs.

The east range, likely originally stables or a cow-house, shows 17th-century fabric with 19th-century alterations. It has a rectangular plan of approximately eight bays. The west front, facing the yard, features a chamfered plinth and a continuous dripmould, stepped over the doorways. Five principal doorways are symmetrically arranged, with one central doorway and a pair to each side, plus one at the right-hand end. All doorways have Tudor-arched lintels and chamfered surrounds. Above the first pair of doorways is a panel with raised “ES” lettering, enclosed by molding and linked to the dripmould. Above the second pair is a similar panel bearing a raised double cross (of St. John of the Hospital). The first doorway has been altered into a window, the second and third are blocked with brick, the sixth with stone, while the fourth and fifth have stable doors. The central doorway is flanked by two-light chamfered mullion windows; the window on the right lacks a mullion. Oculi are positioned above the lintels of the central and fourth doorways. The first floor has 19th-century chamfered single-light windows. The rear (east side) is of less interest, with altered or inserted openings. The interior retains much of the collar truss roof structure, despite alterations.

The south range is a large barn with an attached cart shed, appearing to be of the 18th century, but with a roof structure similar to the east range. This range has a rectangular plan of seven bays, plus a two-bay cart shed at the west end. A chamfered plinth is present, and there are large segmental-arched wagon doorways, opposed in the second and sixth bays. The doorway in the second (eastern) bay has been blocked, but the others have heavy-hung double doors with iron hinges. The roof is a collar truss structure with two pairs of butt-purlins, some of which appear to be reused. The cart shed at the west end has coupled segmental-arched entrances to the yard, but the roof and rear walls are partially collapsed.

The north range, apparently of the 19th century, is constructed of dressed masonry, with significantly altered openings and is of less architectural interest.
