The Old Hall

The Old Hall is a house, now divided into two dwellings, dating to the early 17th century, with later additions and alterations in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is built of roughly squared limestone rubble, rendered on the south side, with gritstone dressings and quoins. The roof is slate, with some stone slates and 20th-century concrete tiles to the additions. Moulded stone copings and kneelers are visible on the north gable, which features large stone stacks at the ridge.

The house is two and a half storeys high, with two bays. It has a rectangular plan, with an 18th-century addition to the west and a 19th-century addition to the east. The west elevation has a two-storey projecting bay from the 18th century, featuring a chamfered two-light north window with a tall fixed small-pane window above. To the south of the bay are two recessed, cavetto-moulded three-light mullion windows. Above these, are two similar windows with dripmoulds. Furthe above, under the eaves, are two recessed and cavetto-moulded two-light mullion windows, the southern one now mullionless. The south elevation has a recessed, cavetto-moulded four-light mullion and transomed window with a dripmould. To the east, the 19th-century addition incorporates a rock-faced doorcase with a bracketed stone hood, now covered by a 20th-century glazed porch. Beside the porch, a glazing bar sash window is set in a rock-faced surround. Above this are windows similar to those below. A further window, recessed and cavetto moulded with a dripmould, is positioned above under the eaves to the west. The east elevation has a two-storey canted bay window with a recessed and cavetto-moulded three-light mullion and transom window to the front and a similar two-light window to the south side; the northern window has been replaced with a wooden one. A continuous dripmould runs over the ground and first floor windows. To the south, a two-light recessed and cavetto-moulded mullion window sits under a dripmould, and a similar single-light window is to the north. Above, in the bay, windows are similar to those below, except for the northern one, which is intact. Quoined corners between the ground and first floor windows create a chequered pattern of gritstone and limestone rubble. To either side, two-light recessed and cavetto-moulded mullion windows with dripmoulds are present. Above them, under the eaves to the north, a similar window is found. Most windows are two-pane casements.

The interior of the northern section contains a large, voussoired fireplace to the north, a half-newel stone staircase that continues in wood to the attics, and an upper cruck roof with arched braces and a central pendant.
