Lower Hockley Hall

Lower Hockley Hall is a house of medieval origin, with substantial rebuilding in the 17th and 18th centuries, and a 19th-century plastered brick front range. The rear range is timber-framed and plastered. The building has red plain tiled roofs and a rear centre red brick chimney stack.

The front range is two storeys high and built of red brick with rusticated quoins and a moulded eaves cornice. It has a three-window front with vertically sliding sash windows containing glazing bars and labels above. A red tiled gabled porch provides access to a panelled door leading to the rear of the right return.

The rear range is one storey high with attics. Internally, the rear range rooms feature central bridging joists and some storey posts are visible. There are later, heavy vine mouldings to the bridging joists and cornice in a ground floor room, along with coved ceilings on both the ground and first floors. The site was one of the manors held by Sweyne and later assigned by Henry VIII to Anne of Cleves.
