"The greater part of the sculpture which once ornamented the ancient but dilapidated manor-house (of Lowick) has been
destroyed or removed". (2)
"Lowick Hall was partly burnt down in 1750, only the south wing remaining. The centre portion was rebuilt on old foundations which can still be seen at the foot of the north wall. The porch was added about 1900, covering up a fine Georgian entrance. In the south wing is a large fireplace, with beside it, a Priest's Hole"(a).
The south wing is a two-storey structure with a pebble-dash
exterior and modern roof. Internally the bare stonework of the walls, which are constructed of roughly fashioned angular stones packed with rubble, would suggest them to be of considerable age. (3)

According to the SMR record, there may be the foundations of two towers in the garden. Janet Martin notes that if the newel is indicative of a pele, the pele is in a veryy position. (6) |
