What is recorded here

Castletown House in Castletown put stained glass in the farmhouse porch, giving a muddy arrival the lighting of a religious revelation. ‘I have returned from the turnips.’ ‘We know. Leave the boots outside.’

Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, built c.1880, with two-storey return, porch addition and glass house addition. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls with rendered quoins. Timber sash windows with stone sills and render surrounds. Stained glass windows to porch with decorative surrounds. Stone outbuildings arranged around farmyard to rear.
