Tollemache Hall

Tollemache Hall is a house that was formerly the manor house of Little Bricett. It dates from the mid-16th century, with alterations made in the early 17th century, early 19th century, and 19th century. The building has two storeys and attics, and is constructed of timber framing with plaster. The upper floor juts out over the front wall, and in the early 19th century, a plaster coving with a wooden fascia was added. The roof is covered with plain tiles and features gabled 19th-century casement dormers. There is a central 19th-century chimney made of red brick, and another chimney from the 17th century at the left end, which has three attached rectangular shafts on a square base. The windows are early 19th-century small-paned sashes, and the entrance door, dating from the 18th century, is panelled with the upper pair glazed and has a moulded and eared architrave.

The core of the house is a high-quality three-cell structure from around 1550, featuring a cross-passage entrance. The parlour cell on the left was demolished in the 19th century. Inside the hall, there are ogee-and-scotia moulded beams and a fine open fireplace with a lintel carved in the shape of a depressed four-centred arch, with mouldings that continue down the jambs. The chamber above has an arched doorway with leaf-carved spandrels. The right-hand cell was likely added in the early 17th century, and the inserted attics and plaster ceilings, one featuring vinescroll on the beam soffits, date from this time. A small parlour includes complete early 18th-century panelling with a corner cupboard and fireplace, while other rooms also feature 18th-century joinery. A two-storey wing was added to the rear in the mid-19th century, constructed of stuccoed brick.
