One of the early manor houses. This view is from Hall Bank Wood across Hall Lane.
The 2003 Official Guide entry says:
The Hall stands within extensive grounds in Hall Lane and was formerly one of the homes of the Leycesters of Toft. The house had its beginnings in 1612 as a farm labourer’s cottage, then as a farm, which was subsequently extended to form the present mullioned windowed Jacobean dwelling. The house was completed by 1676.
The date 1686, inset in stone on the magnificent old barn, indicates that the distinctive and numerous outbuildings were completed by this later date.
Surrounded by a moat to the rear and a fine yew hedge along the roadside, the Hall is a Grade II Star listed building, and successive occupants have taken care to preserve its original features
