Description
The Crosses is a 17th-century farmhouse, originally built in 1834, with a new farmhouse dated 1897. It is constructed from white-washed stone rubble and features an old slate roof, with two low storeys. A slate lean-to canopy covers a modern door. The building has five windows on the ground floor and two above, mostly consisting of six-paned sashes. To the right, a former barn extends under the same roof and includes arrow slits, a garage door, a loft door, and a stable door. Inside, the upper floor reveals exposed crucks. This building was the birthplace of Adam Walker, a self-taught inventor, philosopher, and friend of Joseph Priestley, known for his work on oxygen.
