Yew Tree House, part of which was built in the mid 17th century and probably contains fragments of a much earlier dwelling, however, even this earlier structure is of a later date than the moat which once lay alongside. The walls are of red sandstone with a slate roof and stone mullioned windows. The moated site has also been suggested as once being used as a hunting lodge by the Earl's of Derby. The Grade II listed building has had many previous names. More info is available here: http://www.roydenhistory.co.uk/halewood/buildings/yewtree/yewtree.htm
