Description
Lower Brockhampton House is a late 14th century or early 15th century building that stands two storeys high. It features a timber frame with some sections of rubble, and has both tile and slate roofs. The original design was H-shaped with two cross wings, although the west wing has since been demolished. Later additions include a northwest wing from the late 16th century, an extension to the east cross wing from the late 17th century, and a late 17th century porch added to the hall. The exterior showcases exposed timber framing that is partly close-set, with the south gable adorned with carved barge boards and foiled timber-framing in the gable head. Inside, the hall consists of two bays and an east screen bay, featuring one cruck-truss and cambered collar beams with foiling above, as well as one tier of foiled wind-braces. Lower Brockhampton House, along with the Gatehouse and Chapel ruins, forms a notable group.
