The little church at Eldroth was built around 1627 as a chapel and school house. It remained a school until 1947 and some local parishioners still remember their schooldays there, sitting near to the stove to keep warm in the winter. The chief point of interest amongst the scattered farmhouses that go to make up Lawkland is the hall. This Elizabethan house with an even earlier south front and tower dating from the reign of Henry VII is an architectural treasure. Built of warm coloured sandstone from the quarry at Knot Coppy nearby, it is set in a formal Elizabethan garden. In the east wing there is a room, once a chapel, hidden under the floor; and on the second storey is a priests' hiding-hole, a dungeon-like cavity with a stone seat.
