It was probably built in the beginning of the 17th century, having on one tablet over the south west door 'N T 1608'. There is a Roman Catholic chapel here in a low upper room, which has in stucco work on its ceiling, 'N T 1619' and the arms of Thornton impaling Radcliffe, and in which service is done once a month. There is also over the door of an out-house here, this inscription '1680 H + M T' (Hodgson 1827)....."
