Lostock Hall Gatehouse

The now demolished Lostock Hall, built as a manor house for the Anderton family, was a half-timbered building with four overhanging gables.

Over the entrance door were the initials CAD, representing for Christopher Anderton and his wife Dorothy, and the date 1563.

[2][3] The main front is of ashlar and the other three sides are covered with thin coursed rubble.

The central arch was originally open, which a man could ride through, is now built up with a doorway.

The upper floor windows are flanked by pairs of widely spaced Ionic and Corinthian columns.
