Full Description
Portions of hall built 1781 demolished around 1960.
The remaining buildings include a service range to the north west of the original complex. The main remaining building is apparently a single storey stable block with dormers above, built in yellow brick with a slate roof. This block has a central cupola and clock. Adjoining this building to the west is a white brick two-storey house, apparently later. To the north are various sheds, outbuildings and a covered yard, probably 19th century additions. To the east of these buildings is the water tower, of white brick, with a very tall base, dating from around 1860. To the south of the range of buildings is a large, low building of red brick with a yellow brick extension to the west. Much of the original material of this building has been altered, to provide access for large machinery.
The site of the central and eastern sections of the hall are now a yard, and large modern barns have been erected to the south.
The location of the Roman Catholic chapel, presumably added when the family were converted to Catholicism in the mid 19th century, is not clear. A small building visible on early Ordnance Survey maps and located to the north east of the hall may have been the chapel. No trace of this building remains.
See notes in file.
