A typical larger Lakeland farmhouse in a typically magnificent setting. The main part of the house was built in the 16th century, a west wing was added in the 17th century and a south wing was added in the 18th century. It is made from stone and slate rubble and has a flag roof. It possibly originated as a tower house based on the vaulted cellar and newel. (PastScape)
Hartsop Hall, about 2½ m. S. of the church, was built probably in the 16th century and has a 17th-century extension on the W. and an 18th-century wing on the S. The N. and S. walls retain original windows with rounded heads to the lights; one window in the S. wall has a moulded label; a doorway in the S. wall, now opening into the wing, has a four-centred head. Inside the building are some original moulded ceiling-beams. The 17th-century staircase has turned balusters and square newels with moulded terminals. Part of the original king-post roof remains.
