9.3.67 Gosforth Hall

G.V. II*

Ramp barn and adjoining stables. Possibly contemporary with Hall (c1658) built
for Robert and Isabel Copley but 1658 date (with initials R.C.) appears on
re-used lintel over door on south elevation suggesting barn may be later
(C18?). Coursed, squared rubble with quoins and chamfered eaves. Re-laid
graduated slate roof to barn has stone ridge. 2 storeys. South elevation: 4
plank doors and 3 windows to ground floor with central plank winnowing door and
vent slits above. Wagon entrance to centre rear in gabled porch up ramp;
single-storey stable block, adjoining ro right, has 4 plank doors and some
blocked openings. Chamfered surround to ground floor door at right-hand end of
barn. C20 lean-to against north and east walls not of interest. Moulded
copings, and ball finials to roof apex and kneelers of barn.
