Abstract:
Hall House is an early 18th-century grade II-listed building that was known as Hall Farm until the mid-20th century. It was occupied in 1842 by the farm bailiff of Walsham House, a substantial mansion with 238 acres of land which lay immediately to the south but has since been rebuilt as The Willows. The mansion was later known as Walsham Hall, but the site of the medieval manor of Walsham Hall is believed to have stood in the paddock immediately to the north, and the area is of great historic interest. The present barn and stable range appear on the tithe map of 1842 but not the Walsham enclosure map of 1819. The latter shows the site bisected by two medieval roads that were removed as part a major refurbishment which included the construction of the present buildings. The barn was built in two phases between 1819 and 1842, with the first structure of four bays extended by a further two bays to the west and provided with a new lean-to shed and cattle yard to the south. Despite its relatively late date, the barn is of historic interest as the lean-to shed has preserved its external weatherboarding with original red ochre pigment. Red ochre was commonly used to decorate barns in this way before tar became available during the second half of the 19th century, but survivals are rare. The eastern range of the cattle yard was demolished in the mid-20th century and the western range converted into stabling.
