| Date Posted: | Bigland Hall is a Grade II listed building. I was built in the 16th century and remodelled and extended in 1809. It has been occupied by the Bigland family since it was built.- A country house in stone with quoins, a sill band, a top cornice, a coped parapet, and a hipped slate roof. There are two storeys and a southeast front of five bays, the centre bay projecting forward. At the entrance is a Doric porch with paired columns, and a doorway with a fanlight. The windows are sashes, the window in the central bay having an architrave, a consoled frieze and a cornice. On the left return is a conservatory and a stair window. On the right return are two parallel wings. -source: Wikipedia entry on Haverthwaite- | |
