Mon'S Hall

Mon's Hall is a farmhouse that likely has late medieval origins but shows no features earlier than the late 16th century, with 19th-century additions. The building has plastered cob walls and a hipped thatch roof. At the rear, there is a stone rubble lateral stack and a brick chimney set in from the eaves. The layout consists of a three-room-and-through-passage plan, with the lower end to the right. The hall is heated by the rear lateral stack, while the lower room has a fireplace in the rear right-hand corner, which is probably an 18th-century addition. In the 19th century, a small wing was added at the rear of the hall. Early 20th-century alterations included the removal of the lower partition of the passage and the insertion of a staircase at the front of the hall.

Adjacent to the lower room is a long barn that features some late 16th-century ceiling beams, which may have been reused from the house, and the roof timbers indicate a 17th-century date. The exterior of Mon's Hall is two storeys high, with a long, asymmetrical front that has three windows, all of which are 20th-century two and three-light casements, primarily located towards the left-hand end of the house. To the left of center, there is a 20th-century glazed door behind a wooden lattice porch. The attached barn on the right has all its openings on the rear wall, including two doorways and three window openings, one of which is a first-floor loading hatch. A small single-storey wing projects from the house to the right of center.

Inside, the right-hand room features a chamfered and hollow step-stopped ceiling beam, while the hall has plastered chamfered beams, and its fireplace has been partly rebuilt. The right-hand first-floor room shows traces of a simple 17th-century moulded plaster cornice, and a 17th-century door also survives on the first floor. Although there is no access to the roof space, the feet of insubstantial straight principals visible on the first floor suggest that the trusses have been renewed. The end room of the barn has two heavy chamfered cross beams with pyramid stops, and its roof consists of substantial straight principals with curved collars that are set in and pegged.
