Description

Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: Wenden Hall (NR). <1> The west part is mainly 18th century, the small 15th century east wing is timber-framed and said to have some original roof construction, with dated chimney stack 1652. The 18th century west wing is of two storeys with 19th century alterations. There is a fine 11-bay barn, thatched and timber-framed. Grade II. <2> Barn to north-west of Wenden Hall, Grade 2*. Fine 17th century timber-framed weather-boarded barn with a thatched roof. <3> May 1969. Field visit. Wenden Hall, a farmhouse in good condition and as described above. Externally of little interest, and apart from the early dating for the east wing, not outstanding (this dating could not be confirmed as the owner resides in Cambridge and the house is at present empty). The barn, probably 16th or 17th century, is in excellent condition. See GP. <4> June 1989. Field visit. The house is centred at TL 51290 36276, the barn at TL 51270 36340. <5> See also: <6> <7>
