Description

Fincham Hall is a manor house dating from around 1500, with remodels in the late 16th century and the 19th century. It is constructed from brick, clunch, and ashlar dressings, and features roofs of plain tiles. The north front has two to three storeys and consists of three gables, with a polygonal brick tower at the northeast corner. The tower, dating from around 1500, has an arched door on the ground floor, which is illuminated by cinquefoiled arched lights. The upper floor features arched lights beneath square hood moulds on labels, and there is a machicolated cinquefoil frieze below a string course, topped by a stepped battlemented parapet. The facade includes renewed hollow chamfered three and four-light cross casements made of rendered brick, with a blocked two-light casement in the west cross gable.

There is a 19th-century battlemented entrance porch situated between the cross gables, featuring an arched entrance beneath a square hood. To the left, there is an early 17th-century blocked doorway with a semi-circular arch flanked by fluted Ionic pilasters that support an entablature with finials, all in the strapwork tradition. The east wall has a large stepped internal chimney breast topped with a pair of renewed diamond flues. The south front, constructed in the 16th century, is now irregularly studded with 19th-century sash windows that have glazing bars, along with three 18th-century casements in the east cross wing. An additional bay was added to the west in the early 19th century, featuring sash windows and a gabled roof.

Inside, there are remnants of a screen truss that is arch-braced to heavy wall studs in the western range, along with bridging beams that have tongue shops. A timbered screens passage is now blocked by a staircase. The roof structure has been renewed, featuring a 19th-century king post roof over the main range, while the east cross wing retains 18th-century butt purlins and collars.
