Battles Hall (EHER 3856)

A moated manor house, documented from the 14th century, though the present building is mainly 17th century.

Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: Battles Manor House, now a farmhouse, was apparently erected about 1660 and incorporates a considerable amount of material from an earlier date. Older material is also contained in a wall that partly encloses the gardens. The original house probably stood south-west of the present structure. The walls are of brick and plastered timber-frame. The house has tiled roofs and the ground floor walls probably of re-used brick. It has an L-shaped plan with a staircase in the angle and a projecting two-storied porch. One original mullioned and transomed window, a 16th century doorframe with a 17th century door. The central chimney is original and the interior includes 17th century panelling and a carved overmantel. <1> <2> The garden to the south west of the house is partly enclosed by a brick wall with 2 parts of older material. It contains blocked arches and a pair of 17th century gate piers. This brick wall has a 16th century blocked entrance and the west side is constructed of 'Tudor Brick'. <3> Battles Hall (formerly listed as Battles Farmhouse), Grade 2. <4> March 1975. Field survey.
