Moor Hall Farmhouse

Moor Hall Farmhouse is a manor house dating from the 15th century, or possibly the late 14th century. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar with an old tiled roof, featuring two gabled dormers and stone coped gables to the side elevations. The house is two storeys and has attics. The front features three late 18th-century stone mullioned windows with two pointed arched lights each. A small 15th-century lancet window is located on the first floor. A doorway is defined by a wide chamfered segmental arch. A wing on the left, also of late medieval origin, has one gabled dormer, a first-floor window with a double pointed arched light dating from the 18th century, and on the ground floor, a pair of 15th-century lancets and a single pointed arched window. A wide chamfered segmental arch marks the doorway on the right. A modern garage door is on the left side. The rear of the house incorporates a semi-octagonal staircase bay. The interior is said to retain original timbers. It is speculated that the house may be the birthplace, around 1462, of John Vesey, Bishop of Exeter, who founded the Borough of Sutton Coldfield.
