So named on the OS map, but now called Old Hall Farm according to the Charlestown History Group website http://charlestownhistory.org.uk/eastwood/highereastwood.html . It is assumed to have been built in the 18C on the evidence of a date '1767' on the barn. However it looks like a 17C farmer / clothier's house, gentrified by the addition of a pedimented doorway. The long window on the first floor would have been to light a loom shop, with access from the higher ground at the rear. The Eastwood family are recorded from the 13C, no doubt taking their name from the East Wood of Stansfield township.
