Horngarth

Horngarth is an inn that has been converted into a house, dating from the early to mid-19th century. It is part of the estate village established by Sir William Amcotts Ingilby. The building is constructed from coursed squared gritstone and features a grey slate roof. It stands two storeys high and has a three-by-three bay layout, with an additional two-bay range at the rear. Designed in the Gothick style, it has a plinth and a central three-panel door that includes interlaced glazing bars and a pointed overlight. The door is topped with a pointed arch that has a double chamfer adorned with flower head decorations, and the chamfers end in shields featuring the Ingilby star at impost level. All windows are pointed sashes with interlaced glazing bars, and the two-piece arched lintels also display a star motif at impost level, similar to the doorway. There is a blind window above the door, and square hoodmoulds are present over all openings. The building features a moulded eaves cornice and a shallow blocking course, with a hipped roof that has two paired octagonal flues and corniced stacks at the rear, on both the left and right sides. The right return has the same fenestration as the front, with a blocked window on the first floor center of the front range, above a glazed door. Sir William's father, Sir John, who died in 1815, was responsible for rebuilding the Castle. Sir William incorporated flower motifs, the Ingilby star, the two-piece lintel, and window styles from the gatehouse pedestrian entrance and the north range of the Castle courtyard into several houses in the village. Birchwood Farmhouse is identical, while Vale Lodge and Castle Close differ only in chimney position, and Star House and Cottage are similar. Originally, Horngarth was known as the Boar's Head inn, and Nos 1 and 2, Sunnyside served as the stabling range. The inn was closed around 1915.
