Abstract: |
In March 2009, ARCUS were commissioned to undertake an historic building recording of the external elevations of Newhall, Rooley Lane, West Bowing, Bradford, West Yorkshire (NGR SE 1703 3025). A programme of archaeological recording was required to fulfil a planning condition for proposed alterations of the building (planning application number: 01/03035/LBC). Dating from the late 17th century, Newhall is a fine stone-built gentry house built for the Richardson family for whom a date stone on the southern elevation commemorated dated 1672. The hall possessed an 'H' plan that was typical of West Yorkshire gentry house of the period 1550-1680. The design and execution of Newhall was distinctly late 15th to early 16th century in inspiration with a few hints of the Renaissance architecture implemented in other contemporary halls. Results from the extensive survey of rural houses in West Yorkshire by the former RCHME indicate that New Hall was one of the last houses of this type to be built. It had more in common with earlier buildings such as; Oakwell Hall, Gomersal c.1583; Marsh Hall, Northowram c.1626; and Howroyd, Barkisland c.1642. These houses were all two storeys in height and although they contain many of the principal elements of the larger houses with three storeys, they represent a slightly lower rank of the social scale. |
