Newnham Hall

Newnham Hall is a farmhouse, believed to have been built in 1791, as indicated by the rainwater heads. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with a stone string course, and has an old plain-tile mansard roof punctuated by two brick valley stacks. The building follows a central staircase plan and is of a late Georgian style. It is two storeys and an attic, with a three-window front arranged symmetrically. The main entrance features a four-panelled door with an overlight containing margin bars, panelled reveals, and a moulded architrave, sheltered by a porch supported by painted wood Tuscan columns and featuring a concave lead roof. The sash windows are set within painted rendered rusticated flat arches with keyblocks. The ground floor sash windows have had the lower half of the glazing bars replaced with plate glass. Dormers are fitted with six-pane sashes. The return sides have two bays. The interior has not been inspected. The hall was built on the site of the former mansion of the Earls of Chichester, which was demolished in 1776.
