Hales Hall

Hales Hall is the remnant of a country house, dating to the late 15th century. The site includes a very long brick gatehouse range, displaying blue diapering decoration. The east end was likely originally timber-framed on the first floor, but was later brick-faced to match the rest of the structure. It has a steep pantile roof with parapeted gable ends. The building is two storeys high with an attic. Restored wood mullion windows with leaded panes are present. At the west end, a gateway provides access, featuring a restored timber-framed jettied gable on the south side and a brick gable on the north. The gateway has a four-centred archway with brick octagonal angle shafts and finials, along with a two-light four-centred arch window with crenellations. Brick chimney stacks with four shafts, moulded and octagonal, are also present. The remains stand within a moated site to the west, where the original house stood.
