Description

The Hall is a 16th-century house with a timber frame, which is integrated into a complex plan behind 18th and 19th-century facades. The west front is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring three bays and two storeys, with a projecting band at the first floor. The ground storey has hornless sash windows with six panes, mullions, and margin sashes, all set beneath straight gauged brick arches, with a blind recess in the centre. The first storey contains three pairs of sash windows with curved gauged heads. The roof is hipped and covered with slate, supported by three red brick chimney stacks. There are numerous extensions, including two to the north that feature sham timbers on the exterior.

Local climate

The Hall sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 71% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 72% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
