1930s house, 'Little Sampford Hall', Little Sampford (EHER 1487)

Little Sampford Hall (EHER 1486) was rebuilt in 1935 or 1936 using repourposed material. It is uncertain if the material came from the earlier, 16th century, hall, or from 'demolished London buildings'.

Little Sampford Hall was rebuilt in 1936, it is said with old materials, especially the shaped gables which are white brick-surprising if house is really Elizabethan. In 1832 P.F. Robinson built a place called Sampford House."Could this not have been a remodelling of something older, in white brick and in the neo-Tudor taste just then coming to the fore?" <1> OS photo cards in record. <2> May 1975. Field survey. The present house is not outstanding. See photographs. <3> <4> In 1935 or thereabouts, the former Little Sampford Hall was sold to Capt Joseph Sgavvichia, who built a new house on the site using reclaimed materials from demolished London buildings. Little Sampford Hall has been occupied and farmed since the 1960s by the Hodge family. <5> Site Assessment: Not listed. Original HER entry merged with NRHE data transfer.
