Description

Weycroft Hall is an early 15th-century manor house, with significant alterations and additions from the 16th and 17th centuries, and a 19th-century restoration. The house is largely constructed of stone rubble with freestone dressings and slate roofs. A gabled, three-storey northeast wing features corner buttresses and an external stone stack to one side. A square tower is positioned above the porch, set into the angle with the three-storey range. To the southeast is the great hall, dating to around 1400, with a range of three large, three-light stone mullion windows on each side; the lower lights have cusped arches. A chimney stack punctuates the gable end.

Generally, the windows are stone mullion windows with dripmoulds and leaded panes. The tower above the porch contains a single-light window with a cusped arch, and an adjoining wing features a small window with a cusped ogee arch. A one-storey and attic wing extends to the northwest, displaying a three-light window with reticulated tracery in the end gable, and two stone mullion windows to the side. One window has four-centred arch lights, the other ovolo moulded.

The great hall features an open timber roof and a contemporary gallery resembling a rood-loft, complete with a carved bressummer. A large fireplace is located at the opposite end of the hall, and remnants of a newel staircase remain.

Historical records indicate a private chapel was licensed in 1417, with remains likely incorporated into the garden wall, and in 1426 a royal license permitted the crenellation of the house and enclosure of a park.
