The Old Hall

The Old Hall is a former manor house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with later 18th-century refurbishment. It is a long rectangular building with a pantiled roof and diaper patterned brickwork. The plan includes an off-centre three-story porch and a stair outshut directly opposite the rear.

The 16th-century porch has polygonal angle turrets topped with obelisk finials. It features a four-centred moulded archway, above which is a rectangular hood-moulded window with a three-light 18th-century mullioned and transomed frame. A two-light arched mullioned window is at the second floor. The porch has a crow-stepped gable and a canted stair turret to one side. A 16th-century front door retains linenfold panelling and carved spandrels to the frame.

To the south of the porch, a blocked ogee- and roll-moulded four-light wooden mullioned window is partially obscured by the porch. There is a large early 16th-century opening with a four-centred arch and hood-mould, alongside four late 18th-century mullioned and transomed windows, two of which have arched heads in a "gothick" style. Two 20th-century mullioned windows occupy the position of a former canted bay. To the north of the porch are three early 17th-century openings with painted moulded brick pediments on pulvinated friezes, along with two flat-topped three-light dormers and crow-stepped gables to the front only.

Gable-end and axial stacks are present; the southern stack is rectangular with a cusped blind arcade to the base, while the northern stack is circular. Several early 17th-century ovolo-moulded mullioned and transomed windows are visible to the rear and north gable-end, along with three three-light flat-topped dormers.

Inside, the hall features fine 16th-century tight ribbon-moulded beams. The dining room fireplace has a four-centred arched wooden lintel with remains of similar ribbon moulding in the spandrels. Late 18th-century barrel vaulted passageways, "gothick" panelled doors, and ribbed geometric plaster ceilings are also present. A winding staircase from the 17th century has oak treads and risers around a closed timber-framed well. Two door frames have four-centred heads and carved spandrels, and several early 17th-century panelled doors feature throughout. A very fine plaster ceiling and frieze dated 1614 is located in the centre of the north frieze, comprising a large central pendant with a complex ribbed geometric framework radiating from it, panels filled with bosses and varied vegetal and geometric motifs, and a busy inhabited-scroll frieze. Remains of a strapwork frieze are in an adjoining room. An arched 17th-century fireplace in the attic has a strapwork design above. The roof is a 17th-century butt-purlin and collar construction, with remains of an earlier clasped purlin with reduced principals to the south, and a different type to the north.
