The Hall Of The Former Vaughan'S Mansion (Part Of The Music Hall)

The Hall of the former Vaughan's Mansion, now part of The Music Hall, is located in Shrewsbury and dates back to the 14th century. This building is constructed from roughly coursed and squared sandstone, raised in brick, and features a plain tiled roof. It has a hall and cross wing plan, with an open hall that includes close-studded timber-framed gable walls and a hammerbeam curved principal roof. The roof is adorned with cusped windbraces and a quatrefoil frieze at the wall-plate level. The hall underwent extensive restoration after a fire in 1917. Each side of the hall has two splayed mullioned and transomed windows, which are partially blocked, along with inserted dormer windows in the roof. The cross wing is two stories high and has a panelled beamed ceiling.
