Burlton Hall

Burlton Hall is a house dating from the late 19th century, built on the site of an earlier 17th-century building. The structure is timber-framed, with much of the timber renewed in the 17th century, and has red brick infill, including sections laid in a herringbone pattern. The roof is covered in machine tiles with ridge and end stacks. The house is two storeys and has attics. The front is multi-gabled, with the original L-shaped plan—consisting of a hall and a cross-wing—to the left. The late 19th century windows are casements, and there's an oriel window with brackets above the porch. The ornamental, gabled wooden porch, bearing the inscription "Remember yr Laterena/1420”, incorporates Jacobean panelling with 19th-century carving, including grotesque figures, in imitation. A right gable features an external stone-faced stack that incorporates two rectangular leaded windows with hoodmoulds to the ground floor. The right return has two full-height gabled bays. A statue niche on the gable of the cross-wing contains a carved male figure, likely from the 14th or 15th century, holding a staff. The interior was not accessible for inspection during a resurvey in February 1986, but has the potential to be of interest. The statue may originate from the Church of St. Michael, Loppington, where there is an empty statue niche in the west tower. Group value: the statue is likely to have some significance in relation to the nearby church.
