Onehouse Hall

Onehouse Hall is a farmhouse, originally a manor house, dating from the mid-16th century, with substantial alterations primarily in the early 17th century and 1887. The main 16th-century range runs north-south; it is timber-framed and plastered with a plaintiled roof. The chimney stack on this range was rebuilt in the 19th century using red brick with diagonally-set square flues. The 1st-floor windows are small-pane sashes from the mid-19th century, while the ground-floor windows are 20th-century casements. A 20th-century gabled porch with a panelled door has been added at the entrance.

An early 17th-century two-cell cross wing was added to the south end. This wing was subsequently timber-framed, encased in brick, and extended at both ends in 1887, as indicated by the date on the west gable. The external features of this wing date from 1887 and include pilasters and bands of gault brick, which reflect the architectural style of Great Finborough Hall. The south side features three gablets with sash windows. Two axial chimneys are constructed of red brick: one has a diagonally-set cruciform shaft, and the other features circular twin shafts crafted from moulded terracotta tiles, which form a raised diaper pattern. The openings are concrete lintelled and contain 20th-century small-pane casements.

The 16th-century range retains some exposed, massive unmoulded framing and a clasped-purlin roof, although the roof was altered in the 19th century. The 17th-century range has altered arched fireplaces and a butt-purlin roof; the timber framing is largely concealed. A moat, reduced to two arms, likely dates from the medieval period. It is believed that Queen Elizabeth I visited in August 1578.
