Doorway Adjoining North West Corner Of Black Hall

The doorway adjoining the north west corner of Black Hall is a 17th-century feature that has been repurposed as a garden gateway. It is made of granite and features an elliptical or three-centred roll moulded arch with jambs. The roll moulding extends around the spandrels, which are recessed with raised centres, and there is a square hoodmould above. This doorway is set into a garden wall next to the north west corner of Black Hall. From the mid-17th century, Black Hall was the residence of the Fowells family from Fowellscombe, who also had their main seat in Ugborough parish, although the building is now in ruins. In 1815, Black Hall was sold to Hubert Cornish, who constructed the current house and incorporated this doorway from the previous structure.
