Parker's farmhouse (cow hill lane) Rishton
This is a grade 2 Listed, (c.1600) Farmhouse owned by the Dunkenhalgh estate , part altered, now unoccupied. Thin coursed
sandstone (part rendered), stone slate roof with brick chimney on ridge at junction of 2nd and 3rd bays, large projecting chimney stack at left gable. Unusually complete example of 3-bay baffle-entry 2-storey house with 2-storey gabled porch, and outshut stair turret at rear. Double- chamfered stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds (most now blocked). Porch at junction of 2nd and 3rd bays has studded board door with fleur-de-lys hinges, in Tudor-arched doorway with moulded surround and large lintel enclosed by a hoodmould, and hollow-moulded coping with kneelers and seating for finials (missing).i think its on the English Heritage's "Buildings at Risk" register. HISTORY: I've no history on this one.perhaps someone on here can come up with some? ENJOY   Front door  Inside       Some of the walls looked like they had sticks woven in them  Attic   Thanks for looking

Accyexplorer - have a look for the Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Group. There iosn't a Lancashire equivalent but the group is run by a Lank, Kevin Illingworth. They come into Lancashire on raids. You will learn much from them

Re: Parker's farmhouse (cow hill lane) Rishton
See 'Old Homesteads of Accrington & District' by Ainsworth (1928) 7 pages & a pic......'Cowhil' is an eminence situate in the midst of Rishton township.....grey old Tudor buildings...similar in appearance to Higher Antley Hall, it has a long block with two-storeyed porch......home of the Hindle family...' Plenty on the families but not on the buildings.

Re: Parker's farmhouse (cow hill lane) Rishton
looks like it was a stunning building in its time,
its criminal what our authorities allow to happen to our historic buildings. It says belonging to Dunkenhalgh estate, I came across a George and Thomas Walmsley tenants of cowhouses , Accrington in 1527, do you think it would be the same? That would make them relatives of judge walmsley and why its under his estate? |
