Duck House, Farndale East

Last updated

Duck House is a historic building in Farndale East, a civil parish in North Yorkshire, in England.

The house was built in about 1520, probably by the mason named either John, or Thomas, Duck. The Duck family lived in the property until 1750, making only limited alterations. It was extended and altered in the 19th century, and then in 1957 it was modernised, the roof was partly raised, and the thatch roof was replaced with shingles. Despite the changes, it remains one of the best-preserved North Yorkshire Moors farmhouses of its period, and it was grade II* listed in 1987. [1] [2]

Originally a longhouse, the low end converted for domestic use, it is partly cruck-framed and encased in limestone, and has a roof of cedar shingle. The high end has a single storey and an attic, and three bays, and the low end to the right has two storeys and three bays. The doorway has a chamfered surround, and a shallow Tudor arched head. In the high end is a two-light mullioned window and a fire window, elsewhere are casement windows, and dormers in the attic. Inside the attic are two pairs of full crucks, and in the ground floor is an inglenook fireplace. [1]

Ince Blundell Hall is a former country house near the village of Ince Blundell, in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, Merseyside, England. It was built between 1720 and 1750 for Robert Blundell, the lord of the manor, and was designed by Henry Sephton, a local mason-architect. Robert's son, Henry, was a collector of paintings and antiquities, and he built impressive structures in the grounds of the hall in which to house them. In the 19th century the estate passed to the Weld family. Thomas Weld Blundell modernised and expanded the house, and built an adjoining chapel. In the 1960s the house and estate were sold again, and have since been run as a nursing home by the Canonesses of St. Augustine of the Mercy of Jesus.
