NHER 12270 (Building record) - Hainford Hall

3 March 1977. Visited.
Massive seven bay three storey red brick box, probably early 19th century.
Brick porch like a smaller box. Moulded cornice.
On rear (east) is a wooden bay window on the ground floor, and a stone plaque hidden by a supporting beam.
Small extension to south with imitation shaped gable.
The whole is totally derelict and about to fall, held up by a wooden framework, yet part of the cornice which has collapsed is being repaired. Used as a huge car dump.
