Description
Wood Hall is a medieval house, likely dating from the 15th century, with later additions. It originally had an H-shaped plan and has a painted brick extension on the east side, creating a double-range arrangement. The eastern crosswing is jettied to the north and has a very steep side purlin roof. A central hall block has a full-length lean-to addition on the north side. The windows feature a mixture of styles, including two sets of casements with three mullions and a transom in the east addition. A red brick chimney stack is centrally located on the west crosswing. The roofs are ridged and gabled, covered in peg tiles. The house is situated on a moated site, complete with a bridge. Records indicate that in 1332 William de Horkesleigh and his wife Emma held Wood Hall.
