Description
Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the late 16th or early 17th century, and a replan in the 19th century. It is constructed of timber framing and plaster, with a painted brick plinth and plain tiled roofs. The building features two end stacks made of red and gault brick from the 19th century, with some reused bricks, and a reduced painted brick stack on the north gable. The structure has one storey and an attic, along with a cellar. The main range may have originally been an open hall, now reroofed, with two jettied cross wings on the east and west sides. The west cross wing, dating from the early 16th century, has a jettied street elevation and a stair turret that survived the 19th-century demolition of the north chimney. The east cross wing is from the late 16th or early 17th century. The main entrance faces the street and features a six-panelled door from the 19th century, with a sixteen-paned hung sash window to the right and two similar windows on the first floor. There is a pantiled lean-to bakehouse and brewhouse located to the south of the east cross wing.
Inside, the west cross wing has a substantial timber frame consisting of three bays, with a closed truss dividing the bays. The main room features moulded cross beams with ogee-hollow chamfers, which are repeated in the side purlins, along with hollow-chamfered collars, wind braces, and arch braces in the roof trusses. A late 14th-century stone arcade panel of five bays is said to have been removed from the church in the 19th century by the church warden. Carved spandrels above the doors may be original to the building, as well as the folded leaf bressumer reused in the east cross wing, possibly taken from the hearth in the west cross wing. All other interior details are from the 19th century.
