Stackhouse

Stackhouse is a house dating from the late 18th century, with earlier 18th-century origins and mid-19th-century alterations. It is constructed from slobbered rubble with stone dressings and a stone slate roof. The building has a central staircase plan and stands two storeys high with three bays. The central entrance features a plain surround on square bases and a six-panel door, with the top two panels being glazed. There are two 2-light flat-faced mullioned windows on each floor, with the ground floor windows lowered in the late 19th century; the ground floor has 15-pane casements, while the upper floor has sash windows. A central single light window on the upper floor has 16 panes. The house displays shaped eaves modillions, gable end kneelers, and coping, along with gable end ridge stacks. A row of quoins from the earlier house is partly visible to the left of the entrance. This house was the home of Thomas Brayshaw, a local historian, from 1856 to 1891.
