Tatefield Hall

Tatefield Hall is a house that dates back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of ashlar stone and has a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and features two first-floor windows. On the garden front, the entrance on the right has a plain surround and is blocked by a 20th-century 12-pane window. To the left, there are two 2-light recessed, flat-faced mullion windows with 20th-century 9-pane casements. Above, there are similar 4-light windows with 20th-century leaded lights. The house has central and left gable stacks, while the right gable features a 20th-century panelled central door, a 2-light double-chamfered window between the first-floor windows, and an oval window in a twisted-rope surround above, with a sundial positioned over it.

Inside, the front room on the right has a fine open fireplace with a timber mantle beam. There are remains of a stone spiral stair to the left, and evidence of a second spiral stair along with thick stone walls in the cellar suggests that the core of the house is medieval. The house underwent alterations between 1870 and 1900. It was once occupied by B W J Kent, a collector and antiquary who died around 1970. The grounds contain many items from his collection, including sundials, carved heads, quern stones, and cannons.
