| Title | Jaque Royd and Attached Barn, Shelf |
| Description | House, with lintel inscribed 'GBJB 1680'. Constructed of hammer dressed stone with stone slate roof. The house conforms to a Hall and cross wing plan which projects to the north and south. The open hall has the remains of a large double chamfered mullioned and transomed window originally of 14 lights with hoodmould with straight return, a chamfered small square fire window and doorway with basket arch, spandrels and chamfered surrounds and simple stop with composite jambs. To the right of the door is a 4 light double chamfered mullioned window (lacking 2 mullions) with chamfered 4 light mullioned window (2 mullions removed) flanked by two 2 light flat faced mullioned (mullion removed). Cross wing faced c.1880. 2 stacks to the ridge. The left hand return wall reveals that the original wall was flush with the main range and a room was added thus making a projecting cross wing. The rear has been partially rendered and much altered. There is a 17th century barn partly built on to right hand end. The barn has a king post truss with single aisle towards house. One post remains to the outer bay braced to the tie beam and arcade plate. 4 bays remain.
Interior: Open hall with king post and angle strut truss over smoke bay under which is stone fireplace with moulded surround and basket arch to lintel carved in the form of fielded panels. The Junction of the hall and cross wing had a complete close studded wall with closed king post truss with struts parallel to the king post. Posts braced to tie beam. The cross wing has a king post truss with 6 'V' struts. A timber mullioned window survives loose. Text edited from English Heritage's National Heritage List.
Colum Giles visited the property in 1980 as part of the RCHME's Rural Houses Survey. Although not mentioned in the subsequent publication, the following notes were made during the visit:
This is a stone house dated 1680. The form of the dwelling suggests that it replaces an earlier house. Presumably of timber framed construction, of which nothing actually survives.
The house has a hall and cross wing plan. The hall of housebody was open from ground to ridge originally but the rest of the house was of two storeys. The structure is built in thin courses of rubble masonry, quoined at the one angle that remains at least partially visible. The south wall of the projecting cross wing to the west has been rebuilt (19th century) and here the fenestration is modern. Where the original windows survive they have recessed splayed mullions on the ground floor and splayed mullions flush with the surface of the wall in the first floor openings. |
