Description

Two houses, Chantry House and Massey Garth, built in the 18th and 19th centuries and incorporating remains from the 13th century. The construction uses coursed gritstone, Westmorland slate, and a 20th-century pantile roof. The building consists of three parallel ranges, the central range with 13th-century features belonging to Massey Garth, and the rear range forming part of Chantry House, both with lower eaves.

Massey Garth has a 19th-century facade featuring a 20th-century porch and 16-pane sash windows. Chantry House has three bays, with a central round-arched doorway featuring hollow mouldings and 20th-century columns, flanked by 20-pane sash windows with side-sliding sashes.

Inside Massey Garth, a partition wall between the front and rear ranges has a blocked round-headed arch with paired attached columns. A blocked round-headed arch is also visible in the rear wall of the rear range, but only from within Chantry House. This suggests that the middle range’s structure likely represents the remains of a house for a Chantry Priest associated with Spofforth Church.
