Chevington Hall

Chevington Hall is a farmhouse dating from the mid-16th century, with alterations made around 1700. The building has two storeys and features four windows. It is timber-framed and encased in painted brick on the front and sides. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles, topped with axial chimneys made of red brick. The windows are 18th-century mullioned and transomed designs, consisting of four and six lights. The entrance door, which dates from the late 18th century, has six panels and is framed by an architrave and a flat canopy. The hall is situated on a moated site that was once the retreat house for the Abbots of St. Edmunds Abbey from the 13th century. After the Dissolution, Thomas Kitson of Hengrave Hall purchased the estate and constructed the current house, likely using some framing members from the original hall that existed before the Dissolution. The roof and other alterations were completed around 1700.
