Dagworth Hall

Dagworth Hall comprises two houses, built in two main phases as a manor house and farmhouse during the 15th and 16th centuries. The hall range is a single storey with attics, while the 16th-century parlour cross-wing is two storeys high. The building is timber-framed and has a pebbledashed exterior. The wing has a long, jettied west side. The roofs are tiled, with the main roof’s pitch lowered and re-slated in the mid-20th century. The south gable of the cross-wing features good 16th-century brickwork, with the lower storey built of narrow pink bricks and the upper storey of larger red bricks, topped with a crowstepped parapet gable incorporating an axial chimney of red brick. On the north side are two blocked plastered mullioned windows. Two axial chimneys of red brick are present on the main range. A mid-20th century double, flat-roofed dormer has been added. The windows are mainly mid-20th century steel small-pane casements, and the entrance doors are various 20th-century panelled designs. The main range is an open hall house of 15th-century origin, altered in the 16th and mid-20th centuries. Close-studding is visible, but most other internal features are concealed. The interior of the cross-wing has not been inspected.
