Outbuilding Immediately To East Of Yew Tree Farmhouse

This is a small outbuilding located immediately to the east of Yew Tree Farmhouse, converted into a framework knitters workshop, with a privy and pigsty added. It is dated 'ISF 1737', with alterations and additions likely from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed and rubble limestone with pink gritstone dressings, topped with a roof made of stone slate and Staffordshire blue tiles.

The outbuilding is two storeys high and consists of a single cell with a lean-to addition at the rear. The front features coursed limestone, a central doorway with a bonded ashlar surround, and a datestone above. There are external stone steps on the right that lead to the first floor, which has a plank door to the right of three 12-pane casements located beneath the wall-plate. The building displays moulded kneelers and ashlar gable copings.

At the rear, the lean-to pigsty has a walled enclosure with two feeding troughs on the south side and an iron-plate door on the north. The main building has a four-light window on the first floor, while three lights retain their 12-pane casements, and there are fragments of a moulded eaves band at each end. Inside, there is a small fireplace on the first floor, capped beneath tiles. This workshop is rare for its kind and is of additional interest due to its 18th-century origins.
