Description

The barn to the northeast of Hall Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building that was formerly part of a Benedictine nunnery, possibly serving as a guest house. It dates back to the 14th century and has undergone later repairs and re-roofing. The structure is built of flint rubble, which was formerly plastered, and features stone dressings. Later repairs have been made using red brick, and the gables are weatherboarded. The barn has a plaintiled roof and consists of two storeys and a loft, measuring three bays in length. It has diagonal corner buttresses, except on the southwest side where another range was once attached. Of the four side buttresses, two remain intact, one on each wall. The barn contains five small oblong 14th-century windows, one of which is fragmentary, including one located on the first floor. The north wall features two low, two-centre-arched recesses, and there are three 16th to 17th-century mullion and transom windows on the first floor. Inside, the first-floor structure consists of three bays that date to the 16th century, with heavy plain joists set flat. The roof is likely from the 18th century. Minor agricultural buildings are located to the west of the barn. It is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Hall Farmhouse itself is not listed.
