Description


WRIGHTINGTON
SD 5L SW
5/83 Harrock Hall
19-11-1951
GV II*

House. Early C17. Extended early and mid C19, probably replacing earlier
work, and restored c1980. Sandstone ashlar with slate roof. A symmetrical
composition of 2 storeys. Centre of house has rebated and ovolo-moulded
mullioned windows with transoms, and 2 drip courses. In the centre is a
2-storey canted bay window which has cross windows on 3 sides and a
single light on each return wall. To the left there is one bay with 5-
light windows. To its left a 2-storey porch projects forwards. This has a
3-light window on the 1st floor and an outer doorway with round head and
moulded imposts. The inner doorway has a Tudor arch. Projecting slightly
at the left is an early C19 bay which has chamfered quoins, 2 drip
courses, and tripartite sashed windows with Gothick glazing. To the right
of the bay window the house exactly mirrors the left-hand half, but the
tooling of the stonework suggests that it is a copy, possibly of the mid
C19. Above a cornice is a parapet, with rounded battlements over the
outer bays and over the central bay window. Interior: not accessible at
time of survey (April 1987), but recorded by RCHM in 1977 before
restoration. They noted plastered beams in the hall with quarter-round
mouldings, and a C19 stair which had cusped cast-iron arches set into
timber balusters.
