Wood Hall Manor

Wood Hall Manor is a house with origins dating to the late 15th or early 16th century, with a substantial chimney added in the late 16th century and extensions built in the early 17th. Further alterations occurred in the late 17th century, and the exterior was cased and partially reroofed in the 19th century. The house is timber-framed and has a colourwashed brick casing, topped with a steeply pitched pantiled roof. Originally, it had a three-cell cross passage plan, beginning as a two-bay open hall with a stack and a floor added before a parlour was built, and a service bay was later rebuilt. The house is now two storeys high. The entrance is located in the original cross passage position, with a half-glazed door, and features two and three-light windows with single glazing bars on the ground floor, along with hoodboards. A rebuilt ridge stack is positioned to the left of the centre, while another stack is on the right gable end. The left gable end showcases exposed plates and purlins in addition to a ground floor diamond mullioned window. The rear elevation is cement-rendered and features a catslide roof over a lean-to outshut behind the parlour, which has a slightly steeper roof pitch. Inside, the hall has exposed studding without a midrail, stop-chamfered cross axial binding beams. The parlour has close studding with a midrail, diamond mullioned windows, curved and reverse curved braces in the walling, collars and halved principals clasping purlins, curved windbraces. The hall and service end roofs have been renewed.
