Norman Hall

Norman Hall is a farmhouse, now a house, dating back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th century, and additions from the early 18th century, late 18th century, and 19th century. The building is timber-framed with roughcast render and some 18th-century pargeting, built with flint and brick. The roof is red plain tiles, hipped to the left and with two rear gables. A red brick stack includes two plastered recessed panels and a tall grouped shaft, while two 20th-century stacks are to the right.

The original layout comprises a 15th-century hall and a cross-wing to the left, with an 18th-century staircase in the angle. A late 18th-century dining room was added to the rear, along with an entrance hall, and a late 19th-century kitchen range to the right. The main entrance has a closed glazed porch and double doors, while there are two large casement windows (with transoms) to the left, and a single window with a horizontal sliding sash to the right. Five casement windows are on the first floor. The timber frame is exposed.

The cross wing has a crown post roof, featuring a crown post with a moulded cap and base, braced to a collar purlin. A substantial floor frame exists with moulded cross beams. An inserted floor was added to the original hall, revealing roll-moulded axial beams, and an open hearth with a large four-centred arched ovolo-moulded head and jamb. Other features include 18th-century panelled doors, a corner cupboard, a closed-string staircase with a small 18th-century Venetian window, wooden rusticated panelling with a band of Greek key ornament, a round-headed doorway, and a niche in the entrance hall. The dining room has a late 18th-century chimney piece with tapered pilasters and double panelled doors with a reeded architrave. Some 17th-century doors are also present.
