Levens Hall

Levens Hall is a house dating from the 17th century, with extensive restoration carried out in the mid-20th century. It is constructed from coursed squared pink and grey gritstone and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with quoins at the corners. The central entrance consists of glazed double doors, and the south side has five and two-light mullioned windows, all of which are from the 20th century. The roof includes shaped kneelers and gable copings.

On the rear side facing the road, there is a 20th-century door to the right, and to the left, there are recessed chamfered mullion windows with three lights on both the ground and first floors. A central mullion and transom window provides light to the stairs. A projecting single-storey bay to the left has a large gable stack and 20th-century openings. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey, but a previous description from 1962 noted that the panelling had been removed some years prior.

The house is believed to have been the residence of Captain John Levens, who settled there after the Civil War. He became a Quaker and died in 1688, with his burial taking place in the orchard or stackyard, along with two of his children.
