Bastlehouse at the Raw Farm

Bastlehouse at The Raw Farm is a structure dating from the 16th century or early 17th century, with the upper storey partially rebuilt in the 18th century. It is constructed of random rubble and has an asbestos roof.

On the west side, there is probably an 18th-century ground-floor doorway featuring a large stone lintel. To the right of this doorway, external stone steps lead to a partly rebuilt first-floor doorway. The original ground-floor doorway is located on the right return, but it is now obscured by a later building; this doorway has chamfered jambs and a lintel. There is also a window on the east side with chamfered jambs, which is carved with a human head and a rosette with tassels. Additionally, a ventilation slit or gun loop can be found on the left return.

Inside, the ground floor has a tunnel-vaulted ceiling and features a well-built segmental rere arch of the original door, which includes drawbar tunnels.

This bastlehouse is historically significant as the site of the murder of Margaret Crozier in 1791 by William Winter, who was subsequently executed at Winters Gibbet in Elsdon Parish.
