The Hall is now demolished but this wall, which abuts a public footpath, remains. The wall has several openings onto the footpath which have been bricked, or stoned up. At least one of these openings has iron brackets attached suggesting a door of some kind opening onto the path. I do not know the purpose of these openings or the building whose wall this was but possibly it was some sort of agricultural structure. The lintel of one of the openings has the initials I.A. on it. Possibly this is Isabel Ashworth, 1799-1827, who lived in the hall.
