Description
Medlock Hall is a house dating from the 17th century, but it incorporates an earlier cruck truss that is probably from the 16th century. The building features a timber frame set on a stone plinth, with a squared rubble crosswing and a slate roof. It originally had a three-unit cross-passage plan but now consists of two units (three bays) due to the demolition of a bay on the left side in the 1890s. The left wing has square-panel timber framing and a porch on the right, along with a total of five 20th-century casement windows. The gabled stone crosswing on the right has a three-light double-chamfered stone mullion window with a hoodmould on each floor and a ridge chimney stack. The right return features similar two, three, and four-light windows, with the two-light window serving as a fire window. The rear of the building is mostly hidden by 20th-century extensions and a dormer window.
Inside, there is a cruck truss to the left of the cross-passage, which has two collars visible at the first-floor level. Behind this truss is an inglenook fireplace with a heck post and a segmental arched bressummer beam. The stone wing also contains an inglenook fireplace, where the heck post has a carved bracket at the point it meets the bressummer beam. The interior features chamfered floor beams with run-out stops, timber-framed internal walls with wattle and daub panels, and a tie-beam roof truss in the stone wing.
