Description

Brockbury Hall is a house built in the first quarter of the 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with black brick headers used in the quoins and dressings, and features a hipped red tile roof with a central well and two sets of chimneys. The building has a rectangular plan and stands two storeys tall, with a band over the ground floor and a dentilled eaves cornice. It has six by four bays with segmental heads and 19th-century cross casements, while the first floor is mostly blank, as is the north return which has four blank bays. The central entrance is topped with a bracketed flat hood and features a panelled door, with a band above that is raised to form a semi-circular arch.

Inside, there is a central hall with three bolection architrave doorways and an open well staircase that has wide flat oak handrails, heavy square newels, and turned pine balusters. The ground floor front right room, which is above the cellar, contains re-used Jacobean panelling and an 18th-century display cupboard that is said to conceal a priest-hole. The ground floor left room features a polished local marble fireplace with an edge moulding and keystone.
