Rook Hall

Rook Hall is a farmhouse dating from the mid-16th century, with later alterations and an early 17th-century addition. It comprises a north–south range and an east–west range added at the south end. The north wing is constructed with a rendered timber frame on a brick plinth, with plaintiles on the roof. The south block has a similar construction, utilising mixed red and black-glazed pantiles. The north wing has a four-window front, with a half-glazed door to the right and late 20th-century casement windows with three and four lights. The north gable-end has three and four-light casements. The south front has a half-glazed door to the left, with late 20th-century casements arranged as two double two-light casements, a single two-light casement, and one two-light and one three-light first-floor casement. Both wings have gabled roofs with ridge stacks.

The interior of the south block includes a dairy at the west end, with a central room featuring chamfered bridging beams and a 17th-century fireplace with a plain bressumer. A brick cellar contains 17th-century brickwork in the east and west walls. The north range contains an early 19th-century stick-baluster staircase. One room contains two bridging beams: one from the mid-16th century with roll and hollow mouldings and run-out stops, and the other from the early 17th century with sunk-quadrant mouldings. A fireplace in this room has a cambered bressumer with roll and hollow mouldings, and a brattished timber cornice. The timber frame is of moderate size, with splayed principal posts and tie beams on solid braces, and tension bracing to the corners. Remains of shutter slides indicate the former presence of mullioned windows. Both roofs have 17th-century principal rafters and butt purlins, with the north wing roof replacing a 16th-century roof, of which queen-post mortices remain in the tie beams.
