Normans Hall

Normans Hall is a former farmhouse, now a house, dating from the mid to late 16th century with additions from the 17th century. It underwent brick repairs in the early 18th century and further alterations and additions in 1921 by Henry Boddington. The building features a combination of timber framing on a stone plinth and brick construction, topped with a Kerridge stone-slate roof. It has one massive rubble chimney and two brick chimneys, all designed in a Tudor style.

The layout is L-shaped, with the south range being the original house that has a two-storey, four-bay north front. The right end bay is a cross wing set on an ashlar plinth. The ground floor displays six-light ovolo-moulded wooden mullioned and transomed windows with lattice-leaded glazing and chevron patterns in the timber framing. There is a coved jetty with quatrefoil piercing and carved brackets at the end. Above, there is a similar 20th-century window featuring chevron and roundels in the framing. The tie beam has applied mouldings and cross motifs in the gable, adorned with ornately pierced barge-boards and a finial from 1921. The remaining three bays on the rubble plinth exhibit small timber framing, 20th-century wood mullioned windows, and a modern Tudor-style doorcase. The sides and rear include repairs in brick and a weather-boarded added cross wing. The long brick east range has been remodelled as a farm building, with a timber-framed gabled bay dated 1921 at the junction.

Inside, the parlour features bead-moulded ceiling beams, with two original and two copied. The four-centred arched stone fireplace is a 20th-century copy, although a similar original exists in the room above, which also has a seven-panelled door with reeded rails and a three-board cupboard door. The hall contains a deeply chamfered ceiling beam with quirk and tongue stops, and in the room above, there is a truss of tie-beam with two diagonal struts.
