Nether Hall

Nether Hall is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 16th century with alterations from the 17th century and restored around 1980. It features a two-cell hall range with a later cross-wing to the left, standing two storeys high with attics. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with the cross-wing displaying exposed close-studded framing. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and have side-purlins, with central 17th-century red brick chimneys that feature saw-tooth pattern flues on rectangular bases. The windows are mainly three-light casements from around 1980, fitted with leaded lights, and there is a boarded and battened entrance door.

The walls of the hall range were raised in the 17th or 18th century to create two full storeys. Inside, the first-floor fireplace in the cross-wing contains part of a 17th-century wall painting with intricate but faded multicoloured designs, possibly depicting an achievement. Another fireplace from around 1600 features moulded plasterwork on the head and jambs. A staircase from around 1600 includes pierced splat balusters, moulded handrails, and heavily carved newel posts. The hall range exhibits very close studding and heavy first-floor members typical of the mid-16th century.
