Callow Hall

Callow Hall is a house dating from 1848-52, designed by Henry Stevens of Derby. The house is constructed of coursed squared rock-faced limestone with gritstone dressings, featuring slate roofs and stone coped gables with kneelers. It has stone ridge stacks and gable end stacks with cornices. It is built in an L-plan layout and displays an Elizabethan style.

The main, southwest range has an asymmetrical east front with three gables, the rightmost being larger. A heavy, central porch is open on three sides with moulded round arches, rusticated angles, a cornice, and an openwork parapet, with banded ball finials on the angle piers. A large 19th-century half-glazed door is set within the porch. To the left of the porch is a two-light mullioned and transomed window, and to the right similar three- and two-light windows. The first floor windows beneath the gables feature two two-light and one three-light mullioned and transomed windows with dripmoulds; a smaller two-light mullioned and transomed window is set lower down to the right.

The south elevation is symmetrical, with three bays set beneath three gables, the central one smaller and lower. The centre bay projects, with four narrow slit windows on the ground floor and a large bay window above that breaks into an oriel. The parapet has a quatrefoil frieze. Flanking bays have a three-light mullioned and transomed window on each floor. Oval lights are set in each gable. The west elevation has a mix of two, three, four, and five-light mullioned and transomed windows, along with a canted bay. The simpler, one-and-a-half storey northeast service wing has a four-light mullioned window with two transoms. Between the two wings stands a belltower with round-arched openings on each face and a concave pyramidal roof. The house was originally planned on a larger scale, but the design was reduced before construction began.
