Title
Willow Hall, Cote Hill - HLS01259
Description
The sketch and description were originally published in The Halifax Courier in 1912-1913.
Built about 1610, Upper Willow Hall (that delightful old-world building at Cote Hill) is undoubtedly the successor of a much older building. Although in Skircoat Manor, it is thought to have been of such importance once as to have been the centre of a smaller manor. A family of the name of King, or Kinge, were the original owners and over what was once the front entrance (now a window) is inscribed ‘James Kinge builded this’. Wainhouses, Listers, Akeds and Dysons were in turn owners. The Dysons were cloth merchants and much of their work was done in the adjoining out-buildings, now a laundry. One part of the old hall belongs to and is occupied by Mr Enoch Hill, JP. Inside there has been much modernising, probably when alterations were made to that part facing Sowerby Bridge. The part to be seen from Burnley Road is untouched.
