Dale House
Dale House
Dale House was built by William Buck on the site of an earlier building. It was built between 1700 and 1780 with additions over the years. There is a bell at the top of the house which the owners think suggests it may have been used as some kind of meeting place for religious or other use. Of particular interest are the wrought iron gates made by Bill Wild
