Description
High Hall Farmhouse, including a cartshed, is a farmhouse dating back to the 17th century, with two distinct phases of construction recorded on a plaque (1625 and 1665). It was altered in the 19th century and part is now used as a cartshed. The farmhouse is built of random rubble stone with stone slate roofs. It has an irregular T-plan, composed of a main range, a narrow bay addition to the east, a large rear wing with a lean-to on the west angle, and a larger lean-to addition to the north gable.
The front of the main range, originally symmetrical, was heavily remodelled in the 19th century. It now features a central doorway protected by a 20th-century glazed porch, four rectangular two-light casement windows on each floor (each with a horizontal glazing bar), and a relocated plaque bearing the inscription "...ificat Per T/W M 1625 Reaedificicat Per T/R D 1665" (Richard Trotter). A large external chimney stack with three slated offsets, a slate cornice, and a stout cylindrical shaft sits on the left gable. A square chimney with a similar shaft is adjacent to the right. The east bay has a five-light, double-chamfered stone mullion window on each floor, each with a hoodmould, and a gable chimney. The rear of the wing has a wagon doorway at ground floor, a small blocked square window to the left, and a blocked four-light mullioned window at first floor with a hoodmould; it also has a damaged stone slate roof with the remains of a corbelled chimney at the gable. A mullioned window is located on the rear of the main range and the eastern extension.
The interior of the main range has been altered on the ground floor, while the rear wing contains the remains of a wide segmental-arched stone fireplace with a chamfered surround, lacking its upper floor. The farmhouse was historically owned by Richard Trotter, who, as leader of the "statesmen" of Dent, secured the purchase of the manor of Dent from the crown in 1670.
