Reeves Hall

Reeves Hall is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a residential school. It dates from the mid-16th century and 17th century. The building is two storeys high and features a three-cell main range in five bays, which has a jettied front. Originally, it had a cross-entry, but this has been changed to a lobby entrance. There is a two-cell secondary range on the northeast side, which includes an internal chimney stack. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with black glazed pantiled roofs.

The internal chimney stack of the main range has a rebuilt shaft designed in the Jacobean style, complete with recessed panels. The jetty is supported by small solid brackets, and both ranges have small-paned casement windows. The entrance features a six-panel door with raised fielded panels. Inside, the building showcases good exposed framing. The central room has very heavy main cross-beams with a 3-inch chamfer and triangle stops, along with a plain cambered fireplace lintel. A blocked original doorway in the front wall indicates the former cross-entry, and a single post in the end wall shows where the two service doorways were located.

On the other side of the stack, the parlour contains a boxed-in beam and a fireplace with a four-centred brick arch, while a similar but smaller fireplace is found in the principal bedroom. On the upper floor, there is one original window with diamond mullions still in place, along with evidence of other windows. The roof features trusses with cambered tie-beams and cranked braces. Originally hipped, the roof was later altered to be gabled, with plain square crown-posts that are braced only to the collar purlins. A later extension includes some reused timbers, a main beam with ovolo-moulding, and a roof with clasped purlins. This building was one of the two manor houses of Hepworth.
