Thwaite Hall

Thwaite Hall is part of a former Augustinian Priory, now functioning as a house with an attached cottage. The building dates from the 14th century, with an 18th-century addition and 20th-century alterations. It features coursed squared chalk, red brick, and pantile roofs with stone coped gables. The structure is two stories high with a single bay front that has a plinth and a central planked door with a pointed arched head. To the left, there is a small planked opening, and on the first floor, there is another planked doorway. The left gable includes a six glazing bar light with a medieval arch above it. In the brick tympanum, there is a carved human head and a datestone reading "WM 1739," which likely marks the date of the attached 18th-century cottage at the rear. This cottage is also two stories high with a three bay front, featuring a central panelled door covered by a 19th-century gabled wooden porch, flanked by single glazing bar sashes in wider segmental headed openings. On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sashes set into the eaves. Inside, the building has two re-used ovolo moulded girders. An Augustinian Priory was recorded at this location in 1440.
