Hoglands

Hoglands is a late medieval hall-house with a cross wing at the northwest end. It features a timber frame, plaster exterior, and an old tile roof. There is a large external red brick stack on the northwest side with tiled set backs and later hexagonal shafts, and a rebuilt 17th-century red brick stack towards the southeast. The house has one to two and a half storeys, with a low hall range that includes two dormers with 2- and 3-light casements, a 5-light ground floor casement, and other modern windows. Inside, the southeast end of the hall has an exposed crown post roof, and the ground floor features an early 17th-century chimney breast with a moulded wooden lintel, along with early 17th-century floor beams in the centre bay. The cross wing was remodelled in the later 17th century and includes a stairwell in the rear angle, as well as a clasped purlin roof. Notably, Hoglands was the home of sculptor Henry Moore from 1940 onwards.
