Ford Green Hall and attached wall and dovecote

Ford Green Hall is a former farmhouse, now a museum, dating back to the late 16th century, with a wing added or replaced in the early 18th century. The house is timber-framed, featuring close studding to the ground floor and small decorative panels above, set on a stone plinth and covered by plain tiled roofs. Its plan comprises a hall and two cross wings with a baffle entry, the wings being prominent features.

The left-hand wing has a large three-light mullioned window on the ground floor, with two- and three-light windows in the upper storey. The upper section is jettied out, supported by a moulded beam with enriched bosses at the angles. The attic is also jettied. The central bay has a moulded beam carrying a jettied upper section, and a three-light mullioned window to both the ground and upper floors. A projecting, two-storey gabled porch extends to the right of this bay, featuring a doorway in its side wall. Above the inner door is an inscription, “Ralph Sutton, Carpenter.”

The right-hand wing is a brick addition dated 1734 via a rainwater head, bearing the initials “H.F.” and likely replacing an earlier building. A coped gabled wall incorporates a chimney flanked by mullioned and transomed windows. The rear elevation of the central section and timber cross wing displays close studding to the ground floor and square panels above with arch and tension bracing. A lower brick range, dated 1728, has been added to the southwest; this single-storey bay is now open to the roof, though it once included a floor and attic.

A brick garden wall connects the house to the early 18th-century dovecote, which is a square structure with a plain tiled roof.

Inside, the ground floor doorways are ogival moulded archways with fleur de lys capping. The central bay features a deep moulded beam with ogival chamfer stops. The hall fireplace originates from Alton Towers. A panelled parlour contains panelling likely inserted in the early 18th century. Two hollow-chamfered beams are carried on corbels. The staircase is possibly original or from the early 17th century, with splat balusters and newel posts capped with acorns. The timber-framed sections feature a queen-strut roof construction, with a queen-post and strut in the 18th-century range.
