Farmhouse on a T-shaped plan built in 1666, adjoining an earlier fortified tower, part of which can still be seen across the yard from the present rear door. (PastScape–ref. Perriam and Robinson)
Dalton Old Hall, in the S.W. part of the parish, is of two storeys; the walls are of rubble and the roofs are slate-covered. It was built c. 1666 with a main block and a N. wing, and has small later additions. The N. chimney-stack has a cylindrical flue. The front doorway has a lintel with the jamb-chamfers carried up to form embattled sinkings on the face; above it are the initials and date R. and E.L. 1666. Inside the building are some exposed ceiling-beams, and the staircase has turned balusters and square newels. (RCHME 1936)
