Description
Purshall Hall is a house that likely dates back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 17th century and mid-18th century. It features a timber frame that is clad in brick and has a hipped tile roof. The structure includes a four-framed bray cruck house that is integrated into later additions. The building has two storeys, with decorative bands on both levels and six windows. These windows are timber cross windows that have plastered wedge lintels, which partially hide segmental relieving arches. One window on the right is set in a section of brickwork that is straight jointed to the rest of the building.
There is a gabled two-storey porch located off-centre to the right, which has a brick-coped verge, ball finials on the kneelers, and a finial shaped like a face at the apex. The gable also features a blank circular datestone, a cogged brick cornice, a band at the ground floor, and vertical bands below. The entrance has a plastered semi-circular head with a keystone and plain imposts, while the first-floor window has two lights with a chamfered mullion and jambs. Access to the house is restricted, and the description is based on photographs from the Hereford and Worcester Photographic Survey at the Hereford and Worcester Record Office. Notably, the house housed a Roman Catholic chapel from 1742 until around 1796.
