Moat Hall

Moat Hall is a former manor house that has been converted into a farmhouse. It dates back to the early 16th century, likely built for Sir Christopher Willoughby, the father of the first Baron Willoughby. The south wing of the building is thought to have been added in the late 16th or early 17th century. The main structure is located at the northwest corner of a moated site, rising directly from the moat on two sides. It is primarily constructed of red brick, with some timber framing and a plain tiled roof, and consists of two storeys.

The north facade features two full-height canted bays and an external stack on the right side. This facade was likely symmetrical, but the remaining bay and stack to the east have been demolished. The brickwork displays diapering in dark headers on the bays and stack. Each bay contains two-light and three-light brick mullion windows, with one tier on the ground floor and two tiers on the first floor, separated by a transom. The original windows had arched and cusped heads, but all have now been blocked or replaced with later casements. The bays have later plastered gables. The stack has a lower portion with two octagonal flues and a trefoil-headed blank arch on each face, while the upper part of the stack has been rebuilt.

To the west, there are two gables; the larger one features exposed timbering with brick nogging and an overhanging first floor, although the original windows are gone, their moulded heads remain. The smaller gable has an original brick mullion window on the ground floor, but the first-floor opening has been blocked. To the south, there is a canted and gabled staircase turret, which includes one original brick mullion window at first floor level and an external stack with three coupled flues topped with star caps.

The south wing is timber framed and plastered with a plain tiled roof, consisting of two storeys and an attic. It has various casement windows, including square and modern diamond leaded glass, one flat-roofed dormer, and a boarded half door, along with an internal stack. The interior of the main range has been significantly altered, but it retains much re-used 16th and 17th-century panelling on the first floor.
