Description
Mowness Hall is a farmhouse with a core dating from the mid 16th century, featuring alterations from the 17th century and later. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a slated roof that has restored 17th-century red brick chimneys—one at the right gable and the other centrally located, both with sawtooth-type shafts. It has two storeys and includes 20th-century casements and a boarded entrance door. Inside, there is a mid 16th-century cross-entry doorway that is now internal, which has moulded jambs and a depressed 4-centred head with rose-carved spandrels. The interior is also believed to have a ceiling with moulded beams and joists, along with blocked mullioned windows. The interior has not been examined.
