Maiden Hall

Maiden Hall is a late 17th-century house located on Cockfield Road in Felsham. The building is one storey with attics and features a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. It is constructed from timber framing and plaster, with extensive mid-20th century pargetting in high relief depicting various figures, instruments, and agricultural implements. The roof is thatched and includes two 20th-century eyebrow casement dormers. There is a 17th-century axial chimney made of red brick. The windows are mostly late 19th or early 20th-century small-pane casements. The lobby-entrance doorway is blocked, while the rear has an open thatched lean-to entrance porch supported by posts, featuring a half-glazed 20th-century door. At the rear, there is a 16th-century oriel window, likely introduced from another house in the 20th century, which has moulded mullions and a heavy solid cill. Inside, the building retains complete 17th-century framing, square first-floor joists, and a clasped-purlin roof. There is a lintelled open fireplace in the hall and much reused oak studding throughout.
