Full Description

Highstones Farm barn, north of Torside Reservoir, Tintwistle, built in 1732. Stone carving on the door lintel of a ruined barn at Highstones. There is a stylised floral decoration across the top, then division into two of the carving by a vertical line. The left side has 'W' and then 'IM' below, while the right side has a five-pointed star, with the date 1732 below. The upper and lower edges of the two halves of the carving are curved in the same direction, to give the appearance of two shields side by side. (1) The surrounding area was part of a topographic survey carried out between 1986 and 1989, when the building was reported to be derelict. Although detail on the farm building itself was not provided, with the exception of a photogrpah of the date stone, a detailed description of all nearby boundary walls and features were. (2) The farmstead was part of the Historic Farmsteads Project. (3-6)
