Listed Building record MDR5029 - Egstow Hall, Brassington Lane, Tupton

Egstow Hall, Brassington Lane, Tupton, built in 1671. 'Egstow Hall was built in the early Elizabethan period. The roof shows re-used cruck timbers, which may have come from the demolished eastern bay(s) of the cruck barn (SMR 14402).' (1) 'Egstow Hall is a three-storey T-plan gabled house with a stair-turret in the north angle. Dated 1671, but part may be earlier. Mullioned windows, continuous hoods making string-courses on the front.' (2) 'Egstow Hall was restored in 1969.' (3) 'Egstow Hall is a subsidiary house on the Wingerworth Hall estate. In 1618 Philip Hunloke, a nephew of the builder of Wingerworth Hall, was accused of keeping his house in bad repair, which may have led to the building of a new one. It is L-shaped and built of coursed Coal Measures sandstone rubble (probably deep Hard Rock) with similar dressings. In about 1671 it appears to have come into the hands of Archelaus, son of Hercules Brailsford (possibly by marriage), when he left his initials on a datestone, marking some minor alterations. After the Brailsfords left in the mid-18th century, it appears to have been reintegrated with the Wingerworth estate until it was sold with 50 acres in 1920. Today it is a private residence.' (4) 'Vernacular building dated to 1671 as indicated by an inscribed datestone.'
