Description
Ringshall House is a farmhouse built around 1620-1630, with significant remodelling in the mid-19th century. It features a two-cell lobby-entrance plan and an original rear service wing. The building is two storeys high with attics and is timber-framed, encased in mid-19th century gault brick. The roof is plain tiled and has a central 17th-century chimney made of red brick. The windows are mid-19th century sashes with stone lintels and large panes.
The entrance porch, added in the mid-19th century, is two storeys tall with a flat roof and parapets. The corner pilasters rise to the parapets as piers, topped with limestone copings and ball finials. The entrance doorway features sunk pilasters and a mid-20th century door with six fielded panels. The rear wing is one storey with attics and is encased in mid-20th century red brick.
At either end of the front range, the gable tie-beams have a frieze of carved fishes. Inside, the parlour on the right boasts a fine plaster ceiling from around 1620, with beams and cornice featuring sunk spandrels adorned with vine-scrolls and fleurs-de-lys in each quadrant. The chamber above has similar fleurs-de-lys and simpler mouldings on the beams. An altered dog-leg staircase has fretted splat balusters and square newels with crude interlace carving. The roof structure includes close-studding and a two-tier butt-purlin design.
