Marsh Farmhouse is a historic building in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England. Built in 1803, it is a Grade II listed building.[1] It is located to the southeast of today's Amounderness Way roundabout at Victoria Road East (known as Ramper Road at the time).[2]
The farmhouse is in brick with stone dressings, partly rendered, with a concrete tiled roof. It has two storeys and a symmetrical two-bay front. The central doorway has a semicircular relieving brick arch with stone imposts and a keystone inscribed with the name "B. F. Hesketh Esq 1803",[1] referring to Bold Fleetwood Hesketh,[2] son of Fleetwood Hesketh and Frances Bold. The windows are sashes.[3]
Hesketh died in 1819, aged 57, and was buried in the churchyard of St Chad's Church, Poulton-le-Fylde, alongside his parents.[4]
