Description
Cringle Crags is a row of 3 or 4 cottages that have been combined into one house. It dates from the early to mid 17th century, with possible extensions made in the late 17th to early 18th century. The building is constructed from limestone rubble and features wooden lintels, topped with a thatch roof and brick stacks. It has a single-unit plan and stands two storeys tall. The entrance front faces away from the road and displays irregular window arrangements with 20th-century casements. At the rear, there is one small stone-framed opening and a small casement. The roof has stacks at both ends and one to the left of the center. Inside, one unit retains 17th-century stop-chamfered joists, three open fireplaces with bread ovens, a moulded spit rack that may date to the 17th century, and through-purlin roofs.
