Morgan Hall

Morgan Hall is a large, detached house dating from the late 16th century (recorded as Bakers in 1590), with significant alterations and additions during the 18th century and subsequent enlargement to the east. It is set back from the road. The building is constructed of rubble stone, faced with roughcast to the northwest, and render on the 18th-century wing. It has a hipped stone slate roof and substantial ashlar stacks. The building is a long, E-shaped range of two storeys and an attic, with a single two-storey wing added on the northeast end.

The west front features 2-light 18th-century casement windows within moulded stone architraves along the entire length of the west side. Some windows have timber lintels instead of architraves. A stone doorcase is located in the northernmost arm of the E-shape, with pilasters, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice, sheltering a recessed six-panel door (the lower two panels being fielded, the upper two flush) in two leaves, with a sundial positioned above it. The southernmost arm appears to have been altered or may be later in construction. The east side of the original range has similar casement windows, four in number, some being three-light, and three hipped dormers.

The 18th-century wing stands on a plinth and has four large 12-pane sash windows in architraves matching those of the earlier range. Three of these are on the ground floor, and a doorway was formed in the second bay from the left by adding a solid wood piece to the lower part of a sash window. Internal shutters remain in this wing, and some panelling is intact. Panelling is also preserved in a ground floor room in the northwest corner of the original range. The interior of the building is otherwise inaccessible. Local tradition suggests the house served as a Cromwellian stronghold during the Civil War.
