NHER 9971 (Building record) - Old Hall

(S1) and (S2) say this is one wing of a hall erected soon before the mid 17th century, the rest demolished in mid 18th century.
(S3) confuse it with the later Tacolneston Hall (NHER 9971), but the information there which relates to this building states that it was erected in 1670 three storeys with wings each side and clustered chimneys.

However RCHME survey (S4) states that this is a U-shaped 16th/17th century house, with 17th century chimneys, a staircase hall with fine stairs being inserted in the courtyard, the whole exterior clad in brick, and some internal features altered.
Stands on a manorial site (District Council).

Present appearance (from photographs in S4) is of seven bays, two storeys, central three bays project under pediment; parapet; hipped roof with chimneys at ends, small extension with chimneys, rear façade of five bays, some upper windows altered. RCHME (S4) correct in saying the carving of the ceiling beams is of late 16th century type.
