Banham Hall

Banham Hall is a late 16th-century manorial house featuring a timber frame with colourwashed brick in the cross wing gables and a pantiled roof. The building is arranged in an L shape with a subsidiary south gable that tends towards an H plan, and it stands two storeys tall with an attic. The east front has a recessed range with a door to the left beneath a flat hood. The ground floor includes three cross casements of four, three, and two lights, which are likely 18th-century replacements. On the first floor, there are two five-light timber mullioned windows with casements. A deep band of pargetting at first floor level, adorned with scroll and diaper patterns, extends into the north cross wing.

The cross wing features a late 18th-century door and two first-floor mullioned windows with four and three lights. Both gable ends of the cross wings are stepped, with cross casements under pediments on both storeys and the attic, although the attic of the north wing lacks a pediment. The rear elevation is capped to the south by the stepped gable of the cross wing, which has an external stepped stack. There are four blocked windows with remnants of mullions, and the brickwork is in English bond. The center section is roughcast and includes a large external stepped stack that gables back to the roof on the left side of the door, along with a mullioned timber casement. Scattered 18th-century replacement casements are found throughout the center.

The north cross wing is gabled with bargeboards and features two replaced casements, the lower one set under a segmental arch. The north elevation showcases a 17th-century eight-light timber hollow mullioned window with rolls on the ground floor. Inside, the timber frame remains intact, with the kitchen in the north wing exhibiting close studding and a chamfered bridging beam. A dog-leg staircase made of timber is located in a framed well with a middle rail. An upper corridor runs through the front of the house, connecting the wings, while the simple roof consists of collars and principals in the center, with the cross wings additionally supported by butt purlins.
