Description
Clovile Hall, formerly known as The Meeting House and also as Fullers, is a building from the late 16th century located on an L-shaped plan with a tall west wing. The structure has undergone extensive renovations and modernizations in the 20th century. It consists of two storeys and attics. The ground floor is faced with 20th-century brick, while the upper storeys feature sham timber-framing. The windows on the first storey and in the attic are diamond mullioned and include mullioned and transomed casements with lattice leaded lights. The west wing has two external chimney stacks with three shafts set diagonally, which have been rebuilt at the top, while the east wing has an external stack with two shafts set diagonally. The roof is tiled and includes gabled dormer windows on the east wing. Notably, the house is remarkable for its fine early 17th-century wall paintings found in two of the attic rooms in the west wing. These paintings feature symmetrical compositions of arabesques, centaurs, putti, and fishes, with one painted in red and white and the other, dated 1615, in grey and white.
