Dinckley Hall

Dinckley Hall is a house dating from around 1600 and later, featuring a medieval cruck frame. The structure is built of painted sandstone rubble and brick, replacing the original timber framing, and has a slate roof. It stands two storeys high.

The south-east front has a main range of two bays with 19th-century windows that have plain reveals and timber mullions, consisting of two lights on the left and three on the right. To the left, there is a one-bay cross-wing that showcases an exposed cruck truss. The ground floor of this wing includes a window with plain reveals and a central timber mullion, while the first floor has a sashed window with glazing bars. The cruck truss features outriders, a king post rising from a collar, a tie beam, and herringbone studwork infill, some of which appears to be false. Spurs extend from the truss to wall posts, indicating that the original walls were likely timber framed.

The right-hand gable of the main range has a chimney, while the left-hand wall of the cross-wing has two additional chimneys. The right chimney has a projecting stack, and the left is supported by stone corbels, serving a first-floor fireplace. The windows on this wall are ovolo moulded with outer chamfers, featuring a cross window on the ground floor and a similar window on the right. Between the chimneys, there are mullioned and transomed windows with eight lights on the ground floor and six above.

Inside, two cruck trusses are visible in the main range, one adjacent to the cross-wing. On the first floor, part of a wallplate is visible with peg holes for studs. The hall contains a fireplace with a chamfered segmental arch, and in the cross-wing, there is one internal cruck truss and panelling dating from around 1600.
