Fritton Old Hall

Fritton Old Hall is a house that consists of three sections, with the original part built around 1540 in a cross passage plan. The service end of the house was refaced in the early 19th century to create a new south front. The hall's position is now occupied by a mid-19th century block that has been altered in the 20th century. To the north, there is an additional extension from around 1870. The southern section is timber framed with brick infill and a brick skin, while the rest of the building is made of brick, with the north wing being whitewashed. The roofs are covered with black glazed pantiles.

The south front is two storeys high and has three bays. It features a panelled central door beneath a plain pediment, with one horned sash window on each side under segmental arches. There are three sash windows on the first floor, and a dentil eaves cornice. The gabled roof has an internal eastern gable stack. The central block, also two storeys and three bays, has a central door below a plain pediment, with 20th-century French windows to the right and a 20th-century casement window to the left. There are two 20th-century casement windows on the first floor, and the gabled roof includes skylights with a ridge stack positioned to the left.

The north block is two storeys with a dormer attic and has a four-bay facade. A central canted bay rises through both storeys, featuring a panelled door and casements. There are two sash windows on each floor to the right of the canted bay and one on each floor to the left. The parapet partly conceals the gabled roof, which has one central sloping dormer.

Inside, the cross passage retains three screen doorways that are rectangular but have mortar slots for four-centred arches, with one 20th-century replacement arch still in place. Above the doorways are two-light openings. A chamfered and tongue-stopped bridging beam runs to the south wall. The roof of the south block survives with tie beams on arched braces, tension braces to the wall plates, diminished principals, clasped purlins, cambered collars, and some curved windbracing.
