Aldham Hall

Aldham Hall is a medieval house built on an elongated Z-plan, featuring Elizabethan details and 14th-century framed floors with barefaced soffit-tenons. The structure is timber framed and plastered, topped with a peg-tiled roof that has ridges and gables. The north front consists of two ranges aligned with a break in the roof height, and each range has a central red brick chimney stack, with the south-west stack featuring two octagonal shafts. The south-west range includes two gabled dormers and a central early 17th-century porch adorned with carved vergeboards and a finial. The windows are modern casements set between old ovolo mullions. Inside, there is notable Elizabethan panelling and a fireplace with a pilastered overmantle, all made of pine. A semi-hexagonal tie-beam can be found in the west wing, resulting from a 16th-century conversion to two storeys. The remains of a moat are also present.
