Clatford Hall

Clatford Hall is a house that dates from the late 16th century, with additions from the early and mid-19th century. It is constructed from sarsen stone with limestone dressings and was refaced in Bath stone during the early to mid-19th century. The roof is slate-covered. The north front features three storeys with nine window bays, and the entrance is located within a Doric portico in the fourth bay, leading to a large six-panelled door. The windows are twelve-paned sashes with concealed boxes, some of which have been restored in the 20th century, and there are nine-pane blind sashes in the attic. The sixth and eighth bays have blind windows.

The rear elevation has two gabled bays and a central bay, featuring 2-light hollow moulded stone windows with label mouldings, although some have been replaced with later windows. There is a mid-18th century bolection moulded doorcase with a broken pediment and narrow rusticated sides. To the right of the door, there is a hollow string moulding that extends around a projecting east wing, which is likely early 17th century work. The rear wing at the west end is two storeys and consists of two bays, built in the mid-19th century with diaper brickwork and a slated roof. It has a central four-panelled door with an overlight and three-light segmental headed windows.

Inside, the central bays contain a large stone stack with a stone moulded fireplace on the ground floor, featuring ballflower decoration in each spandrel. There is an internal timber framed partition that forms a screen to the cross passage, which is clad in 19th century panelling. A stone fireplace has been reset in the east drawing room. The first floor has a moulded oak doorcase leading to the upper parlour, which is fully panelled and retains some original scumbled graining, although the rest of the room has been restored. The roof has windbraces to the purlins, and the east wing, which has four bays, is also windbraced.

Historically, the house likely occupies the site of a cell of the alien priory of St Victoire en Caux. It was probably built by a cadet branch of the Goddard family, who acquired the manor in 1562. The extension may be the 'new dwelling house' mentioned in 1689.
