TL60SW FINGRITH HALL LANE
723-1/2/20 Ancillary building within the moat
of Fingrith Hall Farm

GV II

Ancillary building of uncertain original purpose, now
agricultural, within the moat at Fingrith Hall Farm (not
included). C17, altered in C18/early C19. Timber-framed,
mainly weatherboarded, some red brick in Flemish bond, roofed
with handmade red clay tiles.
Main range of 5 bays facing SW, early C17, 2-bay cross-wing at
left end, late C17. C20 open lean-to along rear of main range,
roofed with corrugated iron. All of 2-storeys, but the
cross-wing is higher than the main range. 0.33m brick walls at
left side of cross-wing up to first floor, of which 2 are
blocked. One slatted high window. Other small areas of
brickwork, and brick partitions.
INTERIOR: chamfered binding and bridging beams with lamb's
tongue stops. Unjowled posts, straight braces inside studding,
slightly cambered tie-beams, raking struts to clasped purlin
roof. The first floor of the main range forms one undivided
space, which may have been used originally as a manorial court
hall. Probably the ground floor was always in agricultural
use, or stables; it is now much sub-divided by later brick and
other partitions. The floor has been raised in the 3 right
bays. The cross-wing has unjowled posts, thin studding with
primary straight bracing, and a joggled butt-purlin roof with
angle ties.
