History Of Long Can Hall 

Long Can, Ovenden
Late 14th century timber-framed house at Ovenden Wood.
An earlier name was Dearden House Farm.
A later house was built on the site and cased in stone. It was rebuilt by James Murgatroyd and the porch was dated IMM 1637 for James and Mary Murgatroyd. The wooden frame was inscribed RCM with an illegible date.
It was divided into 5 cottages.
The house became a part of Webster's Ovenden Wood Brewery and was restored in 1985, becoming a museum and hospitality centre until the brewery closed in 1996.
There were reports of the ghost of an elderly woman wearing a long dress who was seen and heard walking in the upper part of the centre.
From the 1990s, Long Can was disused.
In September 2008, the building became The Maltings Independent School.
In 2009, there were proposals to convert the building into a pub for Fountain Head Village.
