Little Glemham Hall

Little Glemham Hall is a mansion originally built in the 16th century for Sir Henry Glemham and extensively remodeled in the early 18th century for Dudley North, with the date 1717 marked on several rainwater heads. The building is constructed of red brick, accented with brighter red brick dressings, and features two storeys and an attic. The symmetrical main front includes projecting wings and a central porch, with an 11-window range arranged as 2:7:2. The tall sash windows have glazing bars in flush frames, flat brick arches with keystones, and there is a brick band at the first-floor level along with a moulded stone string course at the second floor. The parapet is complemented by brick pilasters on the central first-floor bay.

The single-storey brick porch has brick pilasters, a wooden entablature, and a wrought iron balcony, with a semi-circular arched entrance featuring panelled reveals and twin four-panel fielded doors. Flanking the porch are two windows on either side, each accompanied by two 16th-century Tuscan pilasters, with traces of Ionic pilasters above them at the first-floor level, which are remnants of the old house's decoration. The west facade presents a nine-window range in a 3:3:3 configuration, with the central bays set forward. The south facade showcases a series of 16th-century straight-sided attic gables, featuring two-light and three-light stone mullion windows with diamond leaded panes, alongside one 16th-century cross window and a painted sundial dated 'D:N 1769'. There are also two additional 16th-century gables on the east facade.

Inside, the hall is fully panelled and boasts a remarkable early 18th-century screen made of four fluted wooden Corinthian columns, leading to an arched entrance into the staircase lobby. The main staircase is constructed of oak, featuring three flights with twisted balusters (three per tread), carved ends to the treads, and newels designed as Corinthian columns to match the hall screen. One first-floor room on the east side retains 16th-century panelling, while several other rooms are adorned with early 18th-century panelling.
