(S2) dates the Hall to the 17th century, 1718 and the later 18th century.
The tower (or possible 'chamber block' as mentioned in (S1) and above) on the south front is interpreted as a porch tower by (S2) and (S3). (S3) dates the tower, which has decorative terracotta panels, to the 16th century and relates it to the manor house built by the Clere family.
