Description
The house, known as Langham Hall, dates from around 1820, and is believed to have been designed by the owner, the Reverend Stephen Frost Rippinghall. It is constructed of gault brick with a red tile roof. The main part of the house is two storeys high with five bays, and it is accompanied by a two-storey one-bay wing to the left and a lower, recessed wing to the right. The architecture is a simplified Greek Revival style. On the ground floor are four sash windows with glazing bars, while the first floor has five sashes also with glazing bars, all set within flat brick arches. A simplified Doric porch has an unfluted order entablature, a metope frieze, and a cornice, all made of wood. The front door is six-panelled, raised and fielded, and is flanked by brick pilasters topped with a stucco cornice. An attic sits above, featuring recessed rectangular panels. Chimneys are recessed behind the main roof ridge and are constructed of moulded gault brick. A tripartite French window with glazing bars is on the ground floor of the left wing, and a sash window is above it. A flint wall with brick pilasters, stone coping, and iron railings, originally to the south of the house, provides a view of the church.
A war memorial is located on the corner of North Street and Holt Road, built into the curving flint wall of Langham Hall. It consists of a wooden canopied crucifix positioned atop a red granite round-headed tablet, which rests on two small projecting granite brackets. These are set within a plastered surround, painted black below and white above, and enclosed by a brick arch with a dentilated cornice and domed coping, all set within the flint wall. The tablet is inscribed with the words "1914 EUROPEAN WAR 1919 / LANGHAM / (NAMES)" in incised black lettering.
