The Hall

The Hall is a small country house dating from the early 18th century, with later alterations and additions from the late 18th and 19th centuries. It is believed to have been built for Beaumont Parkyns and was later acquired by the Paget family. The house is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and chamfered ashlar quoins, set upon a rubble plinth. It has a bell canted hipped slate roof and two red brick stacks. A coved cornice is decorated with some moulded human heads. The building has an L-plan configuration with later additions.

The main front has two storeys plus an attic and five bays. A central doorway features a panelled door, a bolection moulded ashlar surround, and a 19th-century broken segmental pediment containing a coat of arms. Late 18th-century glazing bar sashes are located either side of the doorway, with three similar sashes above, all set within flush ashlar quoin surrounds of former windows. Two brick and slate gabled roof dormers, each with a single glazing bar Yorkshire sash, are situated in the attic. A two-storey, single-bay red brick range, dating from the late 18th century, is attached to the left, featuring a lower hipped slate roof, an external red brick stack, bracketed eaves, a brick plinth, a first-floor ashlar band, and single glazing bar sashes on each floor within flush ashlar quoin surrounds.

The garden (south) front, of three bays, displays a two-storey bow with bracketed eaves, set on a plinth, and featuring three glazing bar sashes on each floor. To the right, set back, is a low glazing bar sash over a three-bay arcaded porch with arches containing keystones and impost bands, supported on turned columns with decorative capitals, the outer bays being narrower. An ashlar balustrade extends over the ground floor of a slightly projecting bay to the right, which is set on an ashlar plinth and has chamfered ashlar quoins. A central low glazing bar sash is flanked by narrower, similar sashes, with two further glazing bar sashes above. That on the left has ashlar quoins. Three dormers are present in the attic. A 19th-century conservatory with seven gabled bays is attached to the right and set back.

Inside, there are four mid-18th-century wood and marble decorative fire surrounds, along with panelled doors and reveals to the major ground floor rooms, fluted architraves, and panelled dados. The first floor retains some panelling from 18th-century box pews. A dining room features an egg and dart cornice. The hall contains a good early 18th-century open well staircase with turned balusters.
