Description

Bagdale Old Hall is an early 16th-century building that was restored in 1883 and later. The main part of the hall is L-shaped, featuring two storeys and gabled attics. It is constructed of ashlar and has three and four-light stone mullioned windows with a cornice above the first floor. There are three-light mullioned windows in the capped gables, which have kneelers, and two-light mullioned windows in the capped and kneelered gabled dormers. Bagdale Old Hall was the residence of several notable local families, including Browne Bushell, a naval officer who served both parliamentary and royalist forces during the first English Civil War and was hanged as a traitor in 1651. A panel brought from the Merceria in Venice, which was mentioned by John Ruskin, is built into one of the walls. The hall is part of a group with Nos 1 to 5.
