Wades Hall

Wades Hall is a cross wing of a former house dating from the mid-16th century. It features 20th-century weatherboarding over a timber frame, which includes close-studded timbers and tension bracing, with some surviving wattle and daub infill. The building has a gabled roof covered with plain tiles, a mid to late 19th-century brick stack on the left side, and remnants of a 16th-century brick stack on the right. The layout is a two-unit plan with a central transverse through-entry.

On the gable end, there is a late 19th-century four-pane sash window and a 3-light casement. The left side wall has a range of three window openings on the two-storey structure. Inside, timber framing is preserved except for the front half of the right side wall. It features reused late Medieval wall posts with heavy jowled heads. The ground-floor room at the front has late 16th-century panelling, a moulded beam with foliate stops, and a chamfered segmental-arched fireplace, along with a late 16th-century panelled door to the right.

The transverse through-entry is flanked by close-studded partitions and has a stop-chamfered architrave on the doorway to the left. A stop-chamfered beam is supported on a jowled post in the rear room. The roof structure includes four A-frame collar trusses with stop-chamfered wall plates, clasped purlins, and curved windbraces. This building was part of the former chamber block of Wades Hall, with the eastern wall range having been destroyed in the winter of 1987/8.
