Wayland Hall

Wayland Hall is a hall house that dates from the late medieval period and was extended in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a thatched roof. The original two-bay hall house is aligned northwest to southeast and was extended by two bays to the southeast in the early 17th century, featuring an axial chimney stack at the junction from that period. The 19th-century extension to the southeast has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles, while a 20th-century extension is located to the northeast of it. The building has a southwest aspect and stands two storeys tall. It features a 20th-century door and five 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor, with six more on the first floor. The roof is hipped to the northwest and half-hipped to the southeast where it connects with the 19th-century extension. The chimney stack has two octagonal shafts.

On the rear elevation of the earlier building, there is one original window with three diamond mullions at first-floor level, which is now glazed. The interior includes jowled posts, heavy studding, and an edge-forked scarf with three face-pegs in one tiebeam, which is notable as no other examples were known at the time of the survey in 1983. The original part has a smoke-blackened simple rafter roof, and some re-used smoke-blackened rafters are present in the 17th-century section. The floor in the original part has been completely rebuilt in the 20th century, while the floor in the 17th-century section features a plain-chamfered axial beam and joists of horizontal section.
