The house was built about 1600. In 1796 it was acquired by James Mellor, who was building a cotton mill nearby, and alterations were made to the house at this time. It was altered again in the 1850s by Mellor's son, also called James, who built an adjacent engineering works powered by water from a mill pool. The house continued to be owned by the Mellor family into the 20th century, and in the 1920s it was rented to the Misses Russell, sisters and schoolteachers, who later became the owners. In 1978 the house was bought by Gordon and Ruth Humphries. The new owners carried out a programme of restoration and alterations, which included converting the adjacent works and incorporating it into the house.〔
