NHER 6917 (Building record) - Old Hall, Old Hall Street

September 1976. Visited.
North front, flint with brick window surrounds, has stepped gables and a blocked window, and brick multiple chimney. 17th century.
The eastern half of this looks newer than the western; perhaps repointed when the southern part of the hall was added in more recent years.
