The house was built in 1649, the year of Charles I's beheading, by John Dearden. The previous timber-framed F-plan house was encased in stone, and a two-storey porch erected with an unusual apple and pear window identical to the window at New Hall, Elland. Above this is a sundial with the date of 1651. The exterior of the building has many finials, pinnacles and gargoyles. It is a Grade I listed building.
The glass slide is from the John Bates Slide Collection held at Sowerby Bridge Public Library.
