**Shuttleworth Hall** is a 17th-century [manor house](/source/Manor_house) (and later farmhouse) in the [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish) of [Hapton](/source/Hapton,_Lancashire) in [Lancashire](/source/Lancashire), England. It is protected as a Grade I [listed building](/source/Listed_building).[1]

## History

The oldest part of the house dates from the early to mid-17th century. An inscription over the outer doorway to the porch contains the date of 1639.[2] Although historians have supposed that the house was a residence of the [Shuttleworth family](/source/Baron_Shuttleworth) of [Gawthorpe Hall](/source/Gawthorpe_Hall) in [Padiham](/source/Padiham), Shuttleworth Hall's connection to that branch of the family is unclear.[3] By 1856, the building was described as a farmhouse, and it now consists of two separate dwellings.[1][3] In April 1953, the house was designated a Grade I [listed building](/source/Listed_building). The Grade I listing is for buildings "of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important".[4] The garden wall and arched gateway are separately designated with a Grade II* listing. [5]

## Architecture

The house is constructed of [coursed](/source/Course_(architecture)) rubble [sandstone](/source/Sandstone) with roofs of stone slate.[1][2] Its plan is H-shaped and it is built on two stories.[6] Most of the windows have [mullions](/source/Mullion) and [transoms](/source/Transom_(architectural)); the hall windows are not mullioned.[6] A garden to the south (front) of the house is enclosed by a wall with a segmental-arched gateway.[2]
