Godhall

Godhall is a farmhouse that dates from the late 16th century, with a facade added in the late 18th century and restored in the late 20th century. It is timber framed, with the ground floor covered in weatherboarding and the first floor finished with tile-hanging. The roof is made of plain tiles and features five timber-framed bays, all floored from the beginning. There is a two-bay hall, a single-bay room to the right, and a single bay containing a stack and cross-passage to the left. The left end of the house has a single bay that is divided axially into two rooms. The first floor is divided differently. The building has two storeys and an attic, set on a brick plinth, with a hipped roof that has a gablet on the right. There is a multiple brick ridge stack on the front slope of the roof towards the left end, along with a slender projecting stack at the left end. The fenestration is irregular, featuring four three-light casements and a 20th-century ribbed door immediately to the left of the stack.

Inside, the farmhouse has exposed timbers and three ground-floor doorways with four-centred arches; two of these are service doorways with hollow spandrels, while one is a parlour doorway with scrolls on the spandrels, although none are in their original positions. There are three first-floor doorways with plain dropped heads, including one next to the original window sill in the right gable end. There is evidence of stairs behind the stack against the rear wall, and original partitions remain. The rear wall of the hall features four lights of an eight-light frieze window with ogee mullions. The roof structure includes clasped purlins with principal rafters trenched over the purlins, cambered collars with vertical queen-struts, intermediate collars, and ogee windbraces.
