The Hall

The Hall is a house that was originally a farmhouse, dating from the 17th century, with extensions and alterations made in the 19th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with gault brick casing and painted brick walls, topped with plain tile roofs. The building has two storeys and attics, along with a single-storey bakehouse. Its layout follows a hall and cross-wing plan, with a three-unit kitchen range added to the rear of the west cross-wing in the late 17th century, which was extended in the early 19th century to include a bakehouse with a tumbled parapet gable and stack.

An addition was made around 1840 at the junction of the kitchen range and the main range, likely replacing a 17th-century stair turret. The main entrance is located in a cross-passage, featuring a two-storey porch that was partly rebuilt in the late 19th century and may have been imported. There is a lean-to conservatory at the rear of the main range, and the building was reroofed in the late 19th century.

The south-facing elevation showcases a gabled two-storey porch with an exposed timber frame, enhanced by carved posts and a key block above a four-centred arch, along with sidelights featuring turned balusters. The building includes one horizontal sliding sash attic window, three first-floor flush-framed twelve-paned hung sash windows, and three ground-floor flush-framed twelve-paned hung sash windows. There are two 19th-century gault brick stacks with arcaded panels, likely replacing similar late 17th-century red brick stacks, as well as two stacks at the rear.

Inside, the Hall features boxed ceiling beams, stop-chamfered beams, and joists. The interior also includes late 17th-century geometric patterned floor tiles and reused 17th-century carved panels that serve as an over mantel to the hall chimney piece, which is said to have originated as part of a reredos from the church.
