Braybrooke House

Braybrooke House, located at The Close, is a Grade I listed building that dates back to the 15th century, with a refronting in the early 18th century. Originally part of the former Chorister's School, it served as the master's house and was the residence of Canon Alexander de Hemingsby. The building is two storeys high with an attic, constructed of brick featuring stone quoins and a string course at the first floor. It has a moulded and coved cornice and an old tiled roof, with two hipped dormers that have lead casements.

On the first floor, there are five windows with architrave frames, while the ground floor has four similar windows. The central entrance features a six-panel door topped with a pediment hood supported by large carved scroll brackets adorned with acanthus leaf ornamentation. The earlier structure remains visible at the rear, made of flint and stone rubble with some tile herringbone work, alongside later additions and restorations. The building also has two large tile-hung gables and a pointed arched window framed in stone. There are two external chimney stacks made of flint rubble. Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase and two front rooms; one features panelling while the other showcases Rococo stucco work in an alcove arch. Remnants of timber framework can be seen in the earlier part of the building. Braybrooke House is part of a remarkable group of listed buildings in The Close.
