Whiteloaf Hall

Whiteloaf Hall is a former house, now divided into three houses, believed to date from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th century. It is designed in the Fen Artisan Mannerist style and was extended and modified around 1900. The building features colourwashed brick with painted ashlar dressings and slate roofs.

It has two crow-stepped gables with kneelers; the right gable includes a pinnacle with a 19th-century date plaque shaped like a loaf of bread inscribed "WCH 1614," while the left gable, built to match, also has a pinnacle. The structure has a parallel ranges plan, originally consisting of one range, and is two storeys high with an irregular six-bay front, the rightmost bay being a later addition.

Architectural details include a chamfered plinth, a first-floor brick band, and a dentillated irregular eaves band. The façade features a two-light early 16th-century window with hollow chamfered four-centred arched surrounds, sunk spandrels, and a moulded hood. To the right, there is a plain sash window, a 20th-century window, and a blocked two-light 16th-century window with a cut-down hood and two 20th-century lights. The centre of the first floor has a band that rises over a small fixed light with a rectangular chamfered ashlar surround, above which is a similar window flanked by plain sashes and single early 16th-century windows with cornices.

At low level to the right, there is a datestone inscribed "1613" with the initials "BEE." The left gable features a central plain sash above which is a three-light early 16th-century window, and on the garret, there is a two-light 16th-century window. Above this gable is a datestone dated 1654 with the initials "IID," and in the gable, there is a broken brass fireplate.

In the later range, a 16th-century doorway has been reset, featuring a moulded four-centred head and hood. The gable includes a reset two-light 16th-century window, with a datestone above it reading "1900." Whiteloaf Hall is reputed to be the first place where a white loaf of bread was baked.
