Narborough Hall

Narborough Hall is a country house dating back to the late 16th century, with substantial alterations and refurbishment in the 18th century. The building is constructed of red brick, gault brick, clunch, flint, and some re-used ashlar. It has a stone plinth and parapet copings, and a pantile roof. The original block was designed with a T-plan, featuring a gabled outshut to the rear that forms the stem of the 'T'. A later east wing has been added, creating an L-shaped layout.

The facade is two stories high with attics. It features thirteen bays of sash windows with glazing bars, set beneath skewback arches. The central nine bays are constructed of 16th-century brick which was largely dismantled and reused when the facade was remodeled. However, the easternmost section retains some original brickwork showing traces of a diaper pattern in yellow brick. The two outer bays are slightly advanced and built in gault brick, as is the full-height canted central bay. A former open porch, supported by four stone Roman Doric columns, has been enclosed with glazing and a two-leaf door. The interior of the porch incorporates a raised panelled door, an eared architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a cornice. Stone detailing includes a moulded plinth coping and cornice, along with an 18th-century crenellated parapet.

The main block has two axial stacks and one to the rear wall. The gabled outshut to the rear likely dates back to the 16th century, and contains two late 18th-century stair windows with arched margin glazing. Above this is an original small, blocked, stone-dressed arched window with hollowed-out spandrels. A 18th-century two-light casement window is found in the gable, incorporating some leaded glazing. The remaining sections of the rear facade are covered by later lean-to outshuts.

The east facade, also in gault brick, sits upon three courses of re-used 12th-century ashlar. It incorporates a two-story canted bay, and carved arms of the Spelman family are displayed on the south side. The fenestration is irregular, largely consisting of sash windows with glazing bars. A notable early 18th-century window on the first floor has wide glazing bars. Two dormers are present on both the front and rear, each with hipped roofs and leaded glazing, along with a dentil cornice.

A lower, early 19th-century, two-story service block is located to the rear, with a symmetrical west facade of four bays of sash windows with glazing bars and skewback arches. It has a plain platband, a dentil cornice, and a hipped roof, along with a massive central stack. Single-story extensions are attached to the north.

The interior features a 16th-century roof with solid arched braces to collars, butt purlins, wind braces, and visible crow steps and corbels supporting a projecting chimney stack. Restored Rococo plasterwork, 16th-century panelling incorporating a carved frieze with an inscription and the date 1581 (though the frieze may be 18th century), and an overmantel with repositioned carved panels of linenfold and vine scroll design are also present. A very fine Gothic revival fireplace, constructed of alabaster on coloured colonnette clusters, is a notable feature.
