Shaw Hall

Shaw Hall is a house dated 1687, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built from coursed squared gritstone and has a graduated stone slate roof, partly replaced with purple slates. The building is two storeys high and consists of four bays, following a lobby-entrance plan.

The structure features quoins and an advanced gabled porch in the second bay, which has a six-panel door with quoined chamfered jambs and a shallow-arched lintel inscribed with "IN 1687," along with a hoodmould above. Above the porch, there is a segmental-arched niche containing a carved head on a plinth, inscribed "R Gill 1848." The gable has moulded copings, bulbous kneelers, and a ball finial on the right.

To the left of the porch, the first bay has a 20th-century blocked cart entrance with a wooden lintel, a plank door, and a four-pane window. Above this, there is a two-light recessed chamfered mullion window, although the mullion has been removed. To the right of the porch, there are recessed chamfered windows throughout. A curved wall connects the porch and the house wall, featuring a blocked segmental-arched window and a stone slate roof, with a small square window above.

In bays three and four, there is a 20th-century door on the far right within a sawn stone surround. Each floor has two four-light transom and mullion windows, with the ground floor windows being taller, the central mullion removed, and a 19th-century casement inserted. A continuous dripmould runs at first-floor level. The building has bulbous kneelers, gable coping, end stacks, and a larger ridge stack opposite the entrance, all corniced. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey, but the first-floor left mullion-and-transom window features a panel of probably early leaded cames.
