Description
Old Hall is a house that is a fragment of a large H-plan structure, built in the late 16th century with early 18th-century alterations. It was reduced around 1774 and has had 20th-century modifications. The building is constructed of ironstone and brick, topped with a slate roof that features two brick gable stacks.
The south front of the house has two storeys and five bays. Originally built in brick, it was refaced in stone in the early 18th century. The front has a chamfered plinth and a blank central section flanked by two pairs of cross windows. Above this, between the floors, there is a single cross window, with another two pairs of cross windows to the left and right. All the windows are from the 20th century, featuring stone sills and wooden lintels.
On the west gable end wall, there is a blocked four-light stone mullioned window with ovolo-moulded mullions and a hoodmould, likely dating from the late 16th century. Inside, the house contains three chamfered main beams with run-out stops. It is noted that Charles I is reported to have lodged here on the eve of the Battle of Naseby.
