Re: Halstead family
Hiya Ret
We have all the old paperwork with the house but as you say no positive proof the Halsteads built it , however the datestone has four sets of initials AH < WH and two more sets so its likely.
Very little remains of Lower Hey now except a gatepost with 17th century graffiti carved into it.
Lower Moor which is just above our place also had a datestone AH 1664 which my mate from school built into his fireplace at Rising Bridge I have been up there today and next to nothing left of that one either although I used to play in it as a lad.
Do you have any record of an Inn near Mitchells House above Lower Moor which was called The Black Lamb we think as there is some of that still visible
