GV II

Outbuilding. Late C17 for Thomas Braithwaite. Coursed squared gritstone rubble, stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 2 bays. Quoins. South side: central stable door in chamfered quoined surround, shallow 4-centred arch to large lintel. C18 door far right and a quoined first-floor door reached by straight flight of stone steps far left. Recessed-chamfered mullion windows, of one light to left of original entrance, and of 3 lights above but partially blocked and a 4-pane sash inserted. Shaped kneelers, gable copings, end stacks. Interior: ground floor, left: large fireplace in plain stone surround. Ground-floor room partitioned and room to right contains blacksmith's hearth with bellows intact. First floor: 2 roof trusses, one original king-post truss and one of reused timbers. The building was probably a bakehouse built away from the main building because of the fire risk and is often referred to as an 'oven house' in C17 records. The upper floor may have been a bothey or sleeping room for servants. In the C18 or C19 the ground floor was divided for a stable and blacksmiths forge - a common feature in large farms of that date; the upper floor is also remembered as the 'schoolroom'.
