Shelley Hall

The Shelley Hall is a house, originally dating back to the early 16th century. It began as a hall house and has undergone significant additions in the 18th century and 1869. The building is timber-framed and clad with gault brick, with red brick dressings around the doors and windows, a central band, and a varied-colour moulded band to the eaves. It has two storeys and attics, and incorporates a 16th-century flint and brick-lined cellar. The roof is covered in red plain tiles.

The main range is on the left, featuring a ball finial on the gable end and stone capping. Two gabled crosswings are to the right, also with ball finials at gable ends. A single-storey extension with a flat roof projects from the far right. The left crosswing incorporates 18th-century bay windows. To the left of these windows is a gabled porch constructed of gault brick, with stone capping, a ball finial, a Moorish arch with broached springing, and a six-panelled door. Above the door is a hatchment featuring a Crown and Griffins head and the date 1869. An external, contemporary 19th-century chimney stack, featuring two octagonal shafts and an octagonal rear shaft, is located forward to the left.

The window arrangement is a 1:1:1 range of 18th-century small-paned, double-hung sliding sash windows with sidelights; the bay windows have three lights. Internally, the original heavily sooted 16th-century roof structure remains, with four-armed square crown posts and moulded capitals. The building was altered and enlarged, likely by John Greene. A door lintel bears the date 1587. A small roofside room contains eight painted panels depicting a cockerel and running foliar designs, along with intermediate painted studs. A fine late 16th- or early 17th-century carved oak chimney piece is present, along with an 18th-century staircase, doors, and moulded surrounds. There is also an 18th-century panelled room with a fine 18th-century fireplace, and original shutters to some rooms.
