Description

Wangford Hall is a house that dates from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th century and mid-19th century. The building features a hall range and two cross-wings, constructed from timber framing and rendered. It has glazed pantiled roofs adorned with crested ridge tiles and bargeboards that have undulating soffits and ridge finials. The house includes 19th-century axial and end chimneys made of red brick, with the axial chimney having four octagonal flues on a square plinth.

The windows are 2-light mid-19th-century casements with hoodmoulds. There is a one-storey entrance porch, also from the 19th century, with pantiles, carved bargeboards, and a ridge finial. The arched doorway has a square hoodmould and features a framed and battened 20th-century door. Inside, the first-floor members are exposed and have ovolo moulding.

At the rear, there are 18th and 19th-century parapet-gabled extensions and alterations made of flint rubble with red brick quoins, along with a further kitchen extension made of mid-19th-century gault brick. Wangford Hall was the residence of Sir Robert Wright, who died in 1689 and served as Chief Justice of the King's Bench under James I, and later of Sir John Holt, who was Lord Chief Justice in 1689.
