Description
Langrigg Hall is a farmhouse built in the mid-18th century for Thomas Barwis, replacing a medieval hall, with early 19th-century alterations and additions. The building features painted stucco with flush quoins and an eaves cornice set on a chamfered plinth. It has a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables and kneelers, along with painted ashlar chimney stacks. The left bay has a window extension made of stucco over brick. The structure is two storeys high and has five bays, with a lower two-storey, single-bay wing to the right that extends to the rear, creating an overall L-shape.
A panelled double door is located within a gabled stone porch that has a round arch and hoodmould, displaying the Barwis coat-of-arms. The 19th-century two-light casement windows, which have glazing bars, are set in painted stone surrounds and are topped with 19th-century hoodmoulds on the ground floor. There is a two-storey canted-bay window extension on the left side, featuring similar windows. Built into the side wall of the wing is a reused lintel dated and inscribed "C & M.O. 1703 or 5" (Cuthbert & Mary Osmotherley), which was salvaged from a demolished dovecote. Each window has internal panelled shutters. The original house was sold by Cuthbert Osmotherley to Thomas Barwis in 1735, who undertook the rebuilding and remarked that it required "three bags - first a bag of nails; secondly a bag of gold and thirdly a bag of patience."
