1-5, Main Street

This is a terrace of a house and four cottages, dating from the early to mid-19th century. It was built as part of the estate village for Sir William Amcotts Ingilby. The buildings are constructed of coursed squared gritstone with a grey slate roof. The terrace is two storeys high and six bays wide. The architectural style is Gothick. A plinth runs along the base. Number 1, the house on the left, has a central front door with applied Y-tracery below a plain lintel with a hoodmould. The flanking windows on the ground floor and those on the first floor all have three lights with intersecting tracery set within rectangular frames, stone sills, and hoodmoulds. The cottages have matching doors and windows, each one being a single bay with the door situated on the right-hand side. The terrace has deep eaves and a hipped roof, with five corniced and crenellated ridge stacks positioned at intervals between the bays. Sir William Ingilby drew inspiration from the details of the restored castle when the village was rebuilt; the window frames are similar in design to those in the castle’s coach-house courtyard, and the chimney stacks are reminiscent of those on the Tower and Castle ranges. Numbers 6 to 10 are an identical row, but mirror-imaged.
