Little Mearley Hall is a late-16th-century house near to Worston, two miles east of Clitheroe in Lancashire. The building, which is of stone and of two storeys, is 58 feet in length and 35 feet wide, the longer sides facing east and west and the south end projecting on the west side eight feet as a gabled wing. The doorway on the east side has a four-centred arch with square hood mould and moulded jambs and head above which is a stone panel dated 1590 with the arms of Nowell quartering Walmesley and the initials of Christopher Nowell and Elizabeth (Walmesley) his wife. The most interesting architectural feature of the house is the semi-octagonal bay window at the north end of the west front, which was brought here from Sawley Abbey after the Dissolution.
