BRADWELL CHURCH ROAD, BRADWELL TL 82 SW (north side) 2/10 Ancillary building 50 metres south-east of Bradwell Hall

• II

Part of ancillary building of manor. Early C16. Timber framed, weatherboarded, roofed with handmade red plain tiles. 2 bays facing north-west, formerly of a longer building. 2 storeys. Open implement shed attached to SW, stable attached to NE, neither of special architectural or historic interest. Ground floor, plain boarded door and 2 C20 metal casements. First floor, plain boarded loading door and one defective window. Jowled posts, heavy studding, axial beam with plain joists of horizontal section jointed to it with soffit tenons with diminished haunches. Wide arched doorhead over present door. Crownpost roof with heavy down-bracing to central tiebeam and heavy arched bracing to collar-purlin. The high quality of the frame and the wide doorhead indicate that this is the remaining part of a building originally of manorial status, probably a court hall or granary/stable range. The boarding of the first floor is defective and is replaced by corrugated iron.
