C17, but inaccurately restored in 1885. Shown on Senior's map of Almondbury
Parish 1634. Former home of the Ramsden family, lords of the manors of Huddersfield
and Almondbury, until 1717, and for this reason excluded from the sale of the
Ramsden Estate to Huddersfield Corporation in 1921. It is either a replacement
or a rebuilding of a mediaeval house, since it came to the Ramsdens by marriage
early in the C16.
Hammer-dressed stone. Hipped stone slate roof. 2 storeys. 4 gables dating
from 1885. 1st floor has two 4-light, one 3-light, and one 2-light stone mullioned
windows (of which the 4-light window at the east end had 6 lights before 1885).
Ground floor has two 4-light and one 6-light stone mullioned windows, and door
with monolithic depressed arch. Ground floor windows have hoodmoulds, and
