Osbaldeston Hall, which lies beside the Ribble, is a Grade II* listed building dating from about 1600, constructed with crucks. It is associated with the Catholic martyr Edward Osbaldeston. Oxendale Hall is a building of 1656, with a gabled façade.[5] The hall has two stories, and most of the house has a Snecked masonry façade from a 1946 restoration.[6] This was performed after a long period of time when many parts of the hall, which was used as a farmhouse, fell into dilapidation.[3] Much of the inside of the house, including the 'banqueting hall', has visible timber framing.[6]
