Farnborough Hall

Farnborough Hall is an early 18th-century building with 19th-century alterations. It has two storeys, with the second floor finished in pebbledash and the ground floor in brick. The hipped tiled roof, characteristic of the early 18th century, features two hipped dormers with 19th-century casements. The building has a coved eaves cornice and three sash windows, two of which are three-light. The entrance is marked by a simple Victorian doorcase, and there is an added Victorian bay on the right side. At the rear, there is an 18th-century extension that is one storey high, constructed in brick with weatherboarding on the gable end and a hipped dormer.

Inside, the house is timber framed, dating from the late 17th to early 18th century, and includes a wooden staircase that may be of the same period. The house, or an earlier structure on the same site, was once the residence of John Stow, the historian of London, and it also served as the manor for the Earls of Leicester.
