The Old Hall
No 76

II* (star)

House. Late C15 and C17 with C18 and C20 alterations and additions. Timber
frame, mostly C20 externally, with rendered panels, steeply pitched- pantiled
roof with 2 brick gable stacks. 2 storey, 3 bay front with C20 pent porch
covering central door, flanked by single C20 windows. To first floor are 2
further C20 windows. Only parts of the original wallplate are visible.
Interior has exposed complete 2 and a half bays, of a former 4 bay hall, with
the timber frame and roof structure completely intact, plus a rear aisle which
is possibly a later addition. The rafters of the eastern bay and a half are
smoke blackened and this section has obviously been a 2 storey late medieval
hall, with an inserted floor. Some stud partitions retain their wattle and
daub infill. Most of the exterior was brick clad in the eighteenth century.
The building contains an unusual post which has been described as a cruck
but would be more accurately described as an unusual curved post.

House. C16 with C20 alterations and addition. Timber frame,
mostly C20 externally, with rendered panels, steeply pitched
pantiled roof with 2 brick gable stacks. 2 storey, 3 bay front
with C20 pent porch covering central door, flanked by single C20
windows. To first floor are 2 further C20 windows. Only parts
of the original wallplate are visible. Internally, elements of
the C16 3 bay plan are visible, with a wattle and daub panel in
the former hall being the major survival. In one corner of the
modern kitchen is a bay post which also appears on the first
floor: this beam has been claimed as a cruck but it is so
irregular that it is impossible to be certain. Also to first
floor, 3 arched braces of the hall bays are visible.
