Aberford House, Main Street, Aberford, a former Gascoigne property, is probably the best example of how the stonework of the main elevation at Parlington was constructed, the window details are very similar, particularly the string course formed with the window cills. Also quoins are almost identical. The stonework is of the same colour and texture, so it makes a convincing match.

The elevation at Parlington was part of the extension added in the 1730’s by Sir Edward Gascoigne. So the property in Aberford could be of a similar age. Little else is known of the origins of the property.
