Tyrell'S Hall

Tyrell's Hall is a manor house primarily built in the 18th century, though its external appearance reflects early 19th-century changes made by architects Thomas Nash of Cockett and Nash in 1825. The northeast end of the building likely dates back to the 16th century. It features a combination of timber framing and gault brick, with the main entrance now located on the north side, which is stuccoed. The roof is hipped, covered with slate, and dates from the early 19th century, with internal and end stacks from the same period.

The house is two storeys tall, with a symmetrical facade that includes four flush frame, twelve-pane hung sashes on either side of a taller central window with fifteen panes. Below this is a central doorway topped with an open modillion pediment supported by engaged Tuscan columns. The door is panelled and features a fanlight with radial glazing bars. A lower service wing is attached, which has two-storey canted bays flanking the doorway in the end wall. The walls are stuccoed and roughcast, also with a slate roof.

The garden front is constructed of gault brick and features five recessed hung sashes, which are shuttered, along with a central glazed doorway flanked by full-length hung sashes. The site includes a partial moat. The early 19th-century alterations to the house, along with the lodge, bridge, Gothick summer house, and garden shelter, reflect the tastes of the Woodham family during that time. A bath house from the same period is now in ruins. Plans and elevations for the alterations by Cockett and Nash are held in the Cambridge Record Office, indicating that the main front was originally on the south side and that the bays at the east end of the service/office range were modifications to the initial design. Tyrell's manor was acquired by William Woodham in 1759, and the Nash-Woodham family also owned Docwra's Manor in Shepreth.
