Statement of Interest

Westhall is shown on Edward?s 1678 map; the 1858 OS map shown an extensive steading at Westhall, of which approximately one half remains. This cartshed and granary is probably contemporary with the farmhouse (listed separately), and with it forms a significant feature in the landscape.
