NHER 12437 (Building record) - Gateley Hall, also known as Manor House

Gateley Hall, also known as Manor House.
1726, on older site, with fine plaster ceilings.
Information from (S1).

November 1978. Visit.
Shaped gables. Doric doorway. House has double shaped gables at each end. On south one a date plaque illegible from ground paired by sundial. (S2) says the date is 1726,as does (S3), showing how late shaped gables lasted. Other architectural historians have said the gables remain from a former house, but brickwork shows no evidence of this. Facade of five bays and two storeys with parapet and Roman doric doorcase seems exactly the same slightly chequered brickwork as the gables, but has been cemented over, slight difference at south end may only be through removal of cement. At rear a round brick projecting bay and a flint bay with small blocked windows, the only section that looks at all older. Extensive internal Rococo plaster and wood decoration, detailed by (S2). Timber framed barn with brick nogging, 18th century.

Informant reports that in the south gable wall has lower down a fossil straight gable, only visible in certain light, of the original brick with the shaped gable obviously built on top of this.
