Description

The Long Gallery, dating to circa 1701, stands about 30 yards north-west of Hanbury Hall and is connected to a retaining wall to the south-east. It is a red brick structure built in Flemish bond, with a hipped roof covered in plain tiles. The building is L-shaped, with the main seven-bay section aligned north-west/south-east, and a single-bay return to the north-east. An external chimney features offsets at the rear and in the angle of the return.

The Long Gallery is a single storey building with a basement, separated by a two-course band. It exhibits a Queen Anne style, with a modillion eaves cornice to the front and a brick dentilled cornice at the rear. The south-east elevation has seven sash windows, each containing 18 panes with thick glazing bars, moulded architraves, and gauged flat heads. The basement level has six irregularly spaced casements, and a half-glazed entrance door with a cambered head. An entrance at the south-east end is formed with three 19th-century pointed brick arches; the outer two have pierced brick infill in the lower part with a sandstone coping. Two flights of steps lead up to the central entrance arch and a porch, which contains fitted side benches.

The interior is panelled to shoulder height. Two Jacobean overmantels are present in the main part of the gallery; one incorporates woodwork from a church, carved with symbols of the Passion and framing a funerary hatchment bearing the Vernon wheatsheaves. The other is divided into three compartments by Caryatids and is crowned by a frieze of fruit, flowers and strapwork, featuring the Prince of Wales' feathers, a fleur-de-lis, a rose, a thistle, and a pear. This overmantel was moved from the Parlour and is believed to be originally from Tickenhill House, Bewdley. The Study in the north-east return is also panelled. A dairy in the basement has walls covered with glazed ceramic tiles.

Attached to the south-west of the main house is a brick retaining wall with a sandstone coping, approximately 30 yards long and 20 feet high. The south-west side has blocked openings with cambered heads, while the north-east side features four recessed rectangular panels. A half-glazed door with a cambered head is located at the south-east end of the wall.
