Wilby Hall

Wilby Hall is a farmhouse dated '1579 RB' in a circular terracotta panel located at the base of the gable stack. It features a later dairy range at the rear and was altered around 1900, which included the addition of a rear wing of similar date. The building is timber-framed, with a facade from around 1900 that has red brick on the ground floor and a plastered first floor with applied timbers. The original red brick gable end on the left displays some diaper work, while the rear has ashlar-lined plasterwork. The roof is covered with glazed black pantiles and features wavy bargeboards with pierced quatrefoils on all gables. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and follows a three-cell form.

The windows are mullion and transom casement types without glazing bars. The lobby entrance includes a two-storey gabled addition, with the ground floor forming an enclosed porch that contains a four-panel door. There are also two gabled dormers. An internal stack is present, and the 16th-century gable end has paired first-floor windows with quoined stucco surrounds, one of which retains its original mullions. There are blocked paired attic windows and an integral stack with two octagonal shafts that have moulded bases and 20th-century caps. The dairy range retains slatted windows and remains largely unaltered since the 19th century.

Inside, most of the frame is concealed, but the hall features a fully moulded bridging beam and remnants of a moulded cornice. The other three main rooms have simpler mouldings on their bridging beams. The parlour chamber boasts a well-crafted three-centre arched stucco fireplace with sunk spandrels. There are two solid treat attic stairs, one of which has been mostly rebuilt, and the queen-post roof remains intact. A carved drip finial dated 1578 with the initials 'B' over 'RM' is preserved in the house, along with an intact medieval moat surrounding the property.
