Thatchers Hall

Thatcher's Hall is a fine 15th-century "Wealdon" type house located on North Street in Hundon. It is timber-framed and plastered, featuring jettied end bays on the first storey, with a roof that extends over the front of these bays, supported by brackets. The house has casement windows and a thatched roof with projecting gables. An upper storey was added to the hall during the 16th century, which retains an original cambered tie beam and a notable crown post. A significant fireplace, built in the 15th to early 16th century, includes three arched niches above the lintel. There is also a wall painting, originally in the hall, now located in the upper storey, depicting a 4-foot medallion of "Angus Dei" featuring a lamb, halo, crucifix, and pennant. This painting suggests that the house may have once served as a priest's residence, possibly linked to Chipley Abbey in the nearby parish of Poslingford.
