Paris Hall

Paris Hall is a house dating from the mid-16th century, with alterations made in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building consists of four bays that are aligned approximately northeast to southwest, with a northwest aspect.

There is an axial chimney stack located in the second bay from the northeast, which creates a lobby entrance. Another chimney stack is situated at the rear of the southwest bay, accompanied by a short two-storey wing beyond it. A stair tower is located at the rear of the axial chimney stack, and there is a lean-to garderobe extension to the northeast of the stair tower. A single-storey bakehouse or brewhouse extension from the 19th century is found to the northeast of the garderobe, featuring an end chimney stack. Additionally, there is a single-storey lean-to extension between the stair tower and the southwest wing, which has patent metal glazing and a roof of handmade red clay tiles.

The house is two storeys high and has a 19th-century four-panel door with glazed upper panels, sheltered by a shallow hood. On the ground floor, there are three early 19th-century double-hung sash windows with 16 lights each, along with one 20th-century casement window. The first floor features three early 19th-century double-hung sash windows with 16 lights and one with 12 lights above the door. The axial chimney stack has inscribed letters "HE" at its base, the origin of which is unknown, and it is topped with six grouped octagonal shafts.

Internally, some framing is exposed, showcasing jowled posts, heavy studding with curved tension bracing set inside the studs. The lower northeast room contains a plain chamfered axial beam with step stops and a bar. In this same room, there is a hearth with a depressed arch that was formerly plastered but is now exposed and has been repaired. At the rear of this room, there is an unglazed window with three diamond mullions, which is complete. In the upper room to the southwest of the axial chimney stack, there is an early 17th-century hearth with a depressed arch, featuring elaborately moulded jambs with diamonds at the base, along with original plaster. A 19th-century cast iron casement window is present at the upper level of the stair tower, and there is 17th-century pine panelling with cockshead hinges at the head of the stair. The house is situated on a moated site.
