Description

Hannah More House is a detached house dating from the 17th century, with restoration work carried out in the 20th century. It is constructed of limewashed rubble with dressed stone openings, some of which have wooden lintels at the rear, and features a 20th-century double Roman tile roof. The building has a U-shaped plan with two rear gabled wings that project from the main south-facing section, which is set at right angles to the road.

The south front is two storeys high and has three windows. The windows feature two, three, and four-light cavetto moulded mullions with hoodmoulds, except for the central two windows on both floors, which have similar 20th-century wooden mullions. All the stone mullions are 20th-century replacements set into the original 17th-century openings. The house has two brick stacks and further three and four-light 17th-century ovolo wooden mullions on the rear gable ends, along with 20th-century wooden mullions and a plank door on the west roadside facade.

Social reformer Hannah More is noted to have used the house as a schoolroom during her time in Wrington from around 1783 to 1833.
