More information : (SD 49388324) Heversham Hall (NAT) (1)
The first building here was a pele-tower built in or before 1384. It was abandoned, c.1540, and the present hall was built close by. Of the tower, only fragments remain. The Hall measures 30ft. x 27ft. and is now a farmhouse. (2)
Heversham Hall is of two storeys. The walls are of rubble and the roofs are slate-covered. The main block appears to have been built late in the 14th century, but the upper storey was probably rebuilt in the 16th century. There are modern additions on the south, east, and west. The north front has an original doorway with chamfered jambs and two-centred head; flanking it are two original windows each of two trefoiled and transomed lights. The original windows are rebated internally for shutters. Inside the building is a little 17th century panelling and some exposed ceiling-beams. A few feet east of the house is the ruined wall of a destroyed two-storey building.
Condition - Good. (3)
