Spoons Hall

Spoons Hall is a house that dates back to the early 16th century, with extensions added in the later 16th century, 17th century, and 20th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered in parts, with some exposed framing, and is roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The building has a complex layout, including a 2-bay hall range aligned north-south with an axial stack in the northern bay, a 17th-century extension to the east, a 17th-century two-storey lean-to extension to the north, and a 20th-century single-storey extension beyond. There is a 16th-century crosswing to the south, a 16th-century range beyond it, a stair tower built around 1600 to the west, and an 18th-century extension in the southwest angle.

Originally, the main entrance faced west, where the crosswing jetties out, featuring exposed joists and three plain brackets. However, the eastern elevation, which faces the garden, is now considered more significant. The house is two storeys high, with exposed framing and a continuous jetty on the eastern elevation supported by four plain brackets, as well as on the southern elevation, which has a dragon beam and corner bracket. The structure exhibits close studding and 'Suffolk' bracing. There are two 20th-century splayed bays and 20th-century casements above. The building also has four late 16th-century windows with two, three, two, and two mullions, which have been restored, along with a blocked door featuring a restored four-centred doorhead and original sprockets. The interior includes jowled posts, exposed heavy studding, chamfered beams, crownpost roofs over the hall range and crosswing, and a queenpost roof with curved wind bracing to the side purlins in the southern range. The house was restored in the early 20th century, with some original features relocated.
