Priest's House

The Priest's House, formerly known as Barden Tower Farmhouse, is a historic building in Barden, Craven, a village near Skipton in North Yorkshire, England. It was constructed in 1513 as a hunting lodge associated with the neighbouring Barden Tower. Over the centuries it served as a house for a worker at the tower, then as a farmhouse, before becoming a restaurant. It was designated Grade I listed in 1954. The building is constructed of stone with a stone slate roof. It is three bays wide, partly two storeys high, but the right-hand bay is a three-storey tower. The tower has a parapet, a crocketed pinnacle on the corners, and a large stepped buttress. The left two bays have parapeted gables. The windows have chamfered surrounds, and either a single light, or are mullioned with elliptical-headed lights. The doorway has a chamfered surround and an elliptical head.
