The present building is dated 1634 GCP
(Gregory Patchett). It is constructed of rendered stone,
with a stone slate roof and an L-shaped plan with rear
wing. It is particularly of note because of its association with Branwell Bronte, who used to frequent it when working as a booking clerk at Luddendenfoot station, because of the very early library there, which existed from 1776 until 1917.
