The old school and chapel at Oughtershaw
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 13 Sep 2017
Built in 1856, probably designed by John Ruskin for Charles Woodd of Oughtershaw Hall. The building clearly takes its influence from Ruskin's 'Stones of Venice' published a few years earlier. Converted to residential use at some stage prior to being Listed Grade II in 1989, but now looking unoccupied. There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5542183 on the south east corner.
