Ford Green Hall - outbuildings
Image: © Chris Beaver Taken: 19 Mar 2015
This outbuilding (possibly a dovecote) is attached by a long wall to the west side of the main building. Ford Green Hall was built in 1624 for Hugh Ford. It is a fine example of a timber-framed farm house. The Ford family lived at the Hall for nearly 200 years. Mr Ford was a yeoman dairy farmer and owned 36 acres of land. In the 19th century after the Ford family left the status of the house declined and it was divided into 3 and later 4 cottages. The house contains furnishings that the Ford family might have lived with. See Image for photo of front of Hall.
