The listing details state that this is a former manor house built c.1600, with a 'slightly later' north-east (left in the image) extension. These halls were generally built by men who had made their fortune in the wool trade and become minor gentry. There is a former barn out-of-sight between the hall and the modern houses. This has the remains of a cruck frame, but unfortunately the walls and roof were destroyed in a fire in the 1940s and replaced by modern materials. The name 'Gordon Street' in the right foreground is a renaming of the western part of Banks Road.
