NHER 12637 (Building record) - Great Plumstead Hall

Unusual building, constructed of rough brickwork, but with fine Gothic Revival stone doorways, windows etc.
South front has eaves supported on a colonnade of tall thin Tuscan columns with a central gable, yet there are Gothic windows set in this Classical arrangement. East side has an imitation Perpendicular door with a window over containing a genuine 17th century stained glass roundel. Hall behind is groin vaulted on head corbels, with a similar bathroom off, and beyond the main staircase with stone Gothic balusters.
Owner knows nothing of history except that it was once two cottages.
Suggest Gothic details of about 1850.
Fair condition.
Visited by E. Rose (NAU) 20 July 1977.

Photograph of garden front in (S1) (not seen on above visit) shows a central single bay of 2 storeys with shaped gables.
Central gothick windows, lower a bay window. To right a low Gothick wing, to left plainer Victorian Tudor wing, both two storeys but lower than central bay. House stated to date to reign of William and Mary, which might fit the shaped gables.
