Balderstone Hall, Mirfield
Image: © Humphrey Bolton Taken: 14 Nov 2005
A large detached house said to have been built by Dr John Balderstone in 1690 but must have been altered later. It is a little unusual in having a five-window gabled front (the gable with its arched window might be 19C). The first floor windows have mullions and transoms. The central doorway has a moulded architrave and ornamental lintel. For a closer view see http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/images/34/07/L340790.jpg ; more details are given in this site. The lane (public footpath) is logically called Balderstone Hall Lane.
