Stoney Thorpe Hall

Stoney Thorpe Hall is a manor house that dates back to the early 17th century, with possible origins in the 16th century. It underwent alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building features squared coursed banded lias on the left side of the porch and rendered walls on the right, with a plinth, moulded storey bands above the ground and first floor windows, and a coped gable on the right. The roof is covered with 20th-century tiles and has 17th-century brick stacks with offset cornices.

The house has a U-shaped plan and stands two storeys plus an attic, with a five-window range. To the left of the porch, there is a damaged two-light mullioned window, alongside a four-light hollow-moulded mullioned and transomed window with a king mullion on the first floor. The four windows to the right of the porch are 19th-century restored ovolo-moulded mullioned and transomed windows, featuring two, four, and five lights, all with hood moulds and labels.

There are four gabled dormers, each topped with ball finials on the kneelers and at the apexes. The dormer to the left retains an original three-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window, while the others have been restored in the 19th century. All dormer windows include hood moulds with carved labels. The porch, which is a two-storey gabled structure from the 17th century, has a ball finial at the apex, a plinth, and lias and sandstone quoins. The double plank studded doors are set within a double wave-moulded arched surround, complete with a hood mould and diamond-shaped labels.

Above the doors, there is a first-floor porch window with two hollow-moulded lights and elliptical heads, along with a hood mould featuring carved head labels. A sundial is positioned above this window. The first-floor storey band includes a carved figure at the left end, along with a tablet of incised arms that has a moulded hood above the storey band to the left of the porch. The rear of the building has further ovolo-moulded and plain-chamfered mullioned windows, including one with four elliptical-headed lights and a king mullion. The right facade features a mullioned and transomed window with six elliptical-headed lights (three below the transom) and a three-light elliptical-headed mullioned window. The left facade has three- and four-light hollow-moulded mullioned windows.

Inside, the hall has chamfered beams on the ground and first floors, a winder staircase leading to the attics, and moulded wood four-centred doorways at each end of the through passage.
