Description

NRHE data transfer: Oldpark Farm [NAT]. <1> Old Park Farm, house, was built late in the 16th or early in the 17th century on an H-shaped plan, with the cross-wings at the north-west and south-west ends. At the back of the south-east wing is a modern addition. The central chimney-stack of the north-west wing is of the 17th century, and has a square pilaster on two faces. Condition - Poor. <2> Note: The NRHE does not record the site being demolished. The buildings are no longer present on modern mapping, but are visible on historic mapping. Presumably demolished from the mid 20th to early 21st century. As noted in <2>, the condition of the building was poor.
