Braham Hall

Braham Hall is a house with a complex building history, dating back to the 16th century or earlier. The rear of the house retains timber framing and plaster, while sections have been constructed in red brick. The front and left return are faced with 18th and 19th century gault brick. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, covered in grey slate, with projecting eaves. A central forward range has a lower roofline. Several brick chimney stacks are visible: two to the rear left, one external to the right of the forward range, one to the centre right of the main range, and end stacks to the lower rear ranges.

The house is two storeys high and features a central band. The window arrangement is 2:1:2, with most windows being small-paned vertically sliding sashes. Notable exceptions include two horizontal sliding sashes on the first floor right, double-light windows on the ground floor right, and an angled bay window on the ground floor. A 19th-century flat-headed porch protects a two-panel, two-light door with a fanlight and moulded surround to the right of the left range. A vertically boarded door with a segmental head is situated to the left of the right range.

Historically, Braham Hall served as the seat of the Braham family. The author Thomas Tusser (1527-1580), known for writing "500 points of Good Husbandrie" (published in 1557), lived here and is believed to have composed the book at this location.
