2. C16 and C18. One house subdivided. Two parallel ranges. The north range, Kirby Hall is a timber-framed building. In the region of Elizabeth I it was sold by Sir Thomas Walsingham to Cuthbert Hacket - later Lord Mayor of London in 1626. The building was refaced about 1790 with buff mathematical tiles but preserving the overhang of its first floor on 4 slender columns. Brick parapet and wooden modillion cornice. Half-hipped slate roof. Three sash windows with glazing bars intact. Square porch with Doric columns and entablature fitted in below the overhang of the first floor. The south range, Pyxos, is an addition of the late C18 in the same materials but slightly altered later.
