Little Tagley

Little Tagley is a hall house dating from the early 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building is aligned approximately northeast to southwest and has a southeast aspect. It consists of a two-bay hall, an integral parlour or solar bay to the northeast, and an integral two-bay service end to the southwest.

There is an axial chimney stack at the southwest end of the hall, built in two phases: one around 1600 facing northeast, which leaves the cross-entry unobstructed, and another in the 18th century facing southwest, which blocks the cross-entry. The service end has a cue storey with an attic, while the remainder of the building was raised approximately 1.20 metres in the 17th century, with the roof rebuilt using smoke-blackened medieval rafters.

The entrance features a door with five flush panels set in a 20th-century tiled gabled porch, alongside one French window and three casement windows, also from the 20th century. On the first floor, there are two 20th-century casement windows and an additional one in a gabled dormer. The building has four grouped diagonal chimney shafts that were rebuilt in the 19th century. Some of the framing is exposed internally, and there is an original rear doorway with a doorhead featuring a three-centred curvature.

The service end retains its original roof, which has an arch-braced collar construction and was probably open to the roof originally, but now has an inserted floor. The inserted floor in the hall is supported by pegged clamps and features a plain-chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops. The axial beam in the northeast bay is boxed in.
