Description
Lyons Hall is a timber-framed and plastered house originating from the 15th century, featuring a central hall and cross wings. It underwent alterations in the 17th century, during which the south-east cross wing was rebuilt. In the early 19th century, the original building was faced in grey brick. The central part has a wood fascia and a brick dentil course. The house is two storeys high with a three-window range, featuring double-hung sash windows with glazing bars in plain reveals, with the outer windows being three-light. There is a semi-circular headed doorway with a fanlight that has radial glazing bars, and a modern casement window is located above it. The roof is tiled and includes a 17th-century chimney stack with three diagonally set shafts at the east end.
