Pigsties at Marchwiel Hall

The pigsties at Marchwiel Hall are a 19th-century structure built from red brick, featuring a decorative coloured slate roof with fishtail detailing and topped by a cast-iron weather vane on the dovecote. The gable end includes stone kneelers. On the left side, there is a dovecote with nesting holes and ledges. The building is heated by an external brick stack and is likely a mash house related to the piggeries. The piggeries consist of a rear 'house' with pointed arched entrances, which are fronted by runs that are enclosed with walls and railings. Each sty is equipped with a cast-iron feeding trough made by T Crosskill & Sons of Beverley, featuring a central horizontal hinge that allows the lower section to lift open for feeding.
