Davenham Hall

It was built for Thomas Ravenscroft to replace a timber-framed house called Davenham Lodge.

[1] It dates from the middle or the later part of the 18th century,[2] possibly from shortly before 1795, when Ravenscroft died.

Above this, the central bays protrude slightly forwards and contain two windows, with a pediment above them and a parapet on each side.

The drawing room has more delicate plasterwork, and a marble chimneypiece decorated with dancing figures.

The staircase has a wrought iron baluster, and the first floor landing has a screen of four Doric columns.
