Full Description
HEMSWORTH (96910572), formerly East or Lower Hemsworth, a farmhouse of two storeys with walls of flint and of brick and with a slate-covered roof, appears to be of 16th-century origin. Early in the 18th century a wing was added on the S.W., at the S.E. end of the original range. A late 18th-century view of the house appears on Isaac Taylor's estate map. In the 19th century the S.W. front was remodelled and further extensions were made to S.W. and to N.W. of the original range. <1>
