Ford Green Hall - outbuildings
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

Ford Green Hall, Smallthorne
This is a view of the rear of the hall. Ford Green Hall is a farmhouse, the initial building stated in 1624 and now a historic house museum. It is the only timber-framed yeoman farmer's house still surviving in Stoke-on-Trent. As of 2011 the Hall is under threat of closure as the local authority needs to make economies due to the financial climate. There plans for it to be taken over locally.
