Robert and Richard Offerton erected a substantial home in 1686.This house was rebuilt in 1840 and enlarged in 1883.An architect, at this time, noted that the extremely thick walls in the middle of the house were dated from a period much earlier than the rest of the house. When the pack horse trains travelled along Ringinglow they would buy their bread supplies from the bakery, which was at the house.
