Ranters Hall

Ranters Hall is a house that was originally part of a cottage row, dating from the 16th century, with extensions from the 17th century and early 19th century. The building features a timber frame clad with red and blue brick on the ground floor and tile hanging on the first floor, with additional extensions in red and blue chequered brick and a plain tiled roof. It has a lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high on a plinth, topped with a gabled roof that has a large cluster of stacks to the centre left and a projecting stack at the end right.

The façade includes an irregular arrangement of six wooden casements on the first floor and five on the ground floor, with the windows on the right side being part of a 19th-century extension and featuring segmental heads. There is a plank and stud door located to the centre left, sheltered by a hipped porch. The left side has an outshot, while the rear features a catslide outshot and a two-storey gabled rear wing.

Inside, the full frame is visible, with close-studded exterior walls that can be seen from within, along with framed outshots. The interior includes large inglenooks with triangular-headed recesses and other early fittings, such as wide floorboards on the upper floor. The building is named after the Ranters, a non-conformist sect that met and worshipped here from the 17th century to the 19th century.
