Description

PARBOLD SPARROW HILL SD 51 SW 5/81 Parbold Hall 19-11-1951 II*

Large house. Early-to-mid C18 with C17 remains. Sandstone with hipped slate roof. Centre and 3 right-hand bays of ashlar and of 2 storeys with storey band, dentilled cornice, and blocking course. Windows are sashed with glazing bars and have architraves with stepped keystones. The 3 left-hand bays are of rubble and of 2 storeys with attic. The windows are sashed with glazing bars and have plain reveals. Blocked openings are visible in the stonework, suggesting that the casing of a C17 house in ashlar was not completed. The pedimented centre has a Doric Venetian doorway on the ground floor, the fanlight rising within a pediment. On the 1st floor is an Ionic Venetian window. Carving within the upper pediment includes a camelopard, the crest of Thomas Crisp, the probable builder of the house. Interior: not accessible at time of survey (April 1987) but said to contain panelling, including a garden hall with rusticated dado and Gibbs door surrounds. Fleetwood-Hesketh, P., Murray's Lancashire Architectural Guide, 1955, p.64.
