Heversham Hall

Heversham Hall is a house that likely dates back to the 14th century, with alterations from the 16th century and later additions to the east and west. The building features stone rubble walls with roughly cut quoins and sandstone dressings, topped by a graduated greenslate roof with a stone ridge and two end chimneys. It has two storeys plus attics that are lit from the gable. The windows are irregularly arranged, with four in total: the ground floor has cross windows with trefoil heads, although the right-hand window is blocked; the upper floor has two-light windows with square heads, all featuring chamfered mullions and surrounds, leaded glazing, and small iron opening panes.

An off-centre doorway has a chamfered surround and a pointed-arched head, with a later eight-panelled door inserted behind the arch. At the rear, there are similar mullioned windows along with one 19th-century mullioned window on the upper floor. There is an extension with a plinth on the south gable and a massive chimney with a round stack, as well as the ruined wall of a Pele tower.

Inside, the hall has flagged floors, chamfered oak beams, and a fireplace with a segmental arched head, which has had a later fireplace inserted within it. There are oak doors and fragments of 17th-century panelling on both the ground and upper floors. A late 17th-century or early 18th-century staircase features a closed string, square newels, and moulded balusters. The roof is a four-bay structure with principals pegged at the apex, a ridge piece, collars, and three levels of trenched purlins with deep chamfers.
