 It stands partly on the site of an earlier building, originally the de Plessis manor and manorial court-house.The great hall has a medieval oak screen on the ground floor, possibly from the 13th-century house, late 16th century painted grey studding on the first floor and was horizontally subdivided in the 16th century.The hall has also a finely-detailed arch-braced collar roof with double purlins with seating for a smoke louvre.
