Plait Hall

Plait Hall is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with a recasing from the mid 19th century. It features roughcast walls and a slate roof, along with two white brick ridge chimney stacks. The building has a timber frame and an original brick plinth. It stands two storeys high with attics and includes five flush sash windows, mostly with 6/6-pane configurations and thin glazing bars. The second and fourth bays are extended upwards with wide gabled eaves dormers. The second bay from the right has a flush panel door framed with a moulded design and a scrolled bracket hood. Inside, the central section dates back to the mid 17th century, showcasing a chamfer-stopped axial beam, while a stack was inserted on the right in the late 17th century. To the right of this is a late 17th-century bay, which was evidently built as a kitchen. The upper part features straight braces to a clasped purlin roof. This building was formerly used as a plaiting school.
