TQ6391 BILLERICAY ROAD, Herongate 723-1/13/169 (North side (off)) 21/10/58 Heron Hall (Formerly Listed as: BILLERICAY ROAD, Herongate (North side) No.50 Heron Hall)

GV II

Formerly known as: No.50 Heron Hall Farmhouse BILLERICAY ROAD. House. Late C17, altered in C19 and C20. Red and blue brick in Flemish bond, roofed mainly with handmade red clay tiles, some machine-made red clay tiles. Double range plan, one range aligned approximately N-S with 2 internal stacks, a shorter range to W of it, with a gable stack to S, and lower E-W service range occupying the remainder of the rectangle and projecting to the NE, with one internal stack against the S wall. Entrance elevation to S C20 conservatory along full length of W elevation, C20 single-storey lean-to and stack to N. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. The blue headers and red stretchers form a regular pattern; cement pointing. C20 6-panel door at front of early C19 gabled brick porch, with semi-elliptical arch of gauged brick and fanlight with geometrical and foliate cast-iron tracery. All windows are 3-light casements with segmental brick arches. In the front elevation, on the ground floor, one casement is a C20 replacement in original aperture, and one is original, but partly covered by the porch, retaining one fixed light and one wrought-iron casement, both with rectangular leading, and heavy iron bars of diamond section; on the first floor, two C20 replacements in original apertures. Parapet gables. In the left elevation all are C20 replacements, but 3 apertures on each floor and one at half-height appear to be original. The rear elevation of the service wing has 2 original windows, complete, and one C20 replacement, and on the first floor one original window (apart from the central casement) and one replacement in original aperture. The right elevation of the service wing retains an original door-frame and segmental arch, door altered. This roof is hipped at both ends. The right elevation of the main house has on the ground floor two C20 replacements in original apertures, and on the first floor 3 windows which are original, with rectangular leading and early glass, except the replaced central casements. INTERIOR: few early features are visible. On the first floor in a corridor wall near the left elevation is an oval borrowed light with geometrical tracery. The service wing has an old brick floor and cooking hearth; much of the first floor is missing. Butt-purlin roof. HISTORICAL NOTE: this house was probably built by John Tyrell, 1593-1675, whose initials appear in wrought-iron in 2 associated buildings with similar brickwork. It is not certain when he inherited the manor from his brother Thomas, but as a Royalist he suffered losses in the Civil War and under the Commonwealth. After the Restoration he became MP for Maldon. It is likely that the house and associated buildings were built after 1661. (Morant P: The History and Antiquities of the County of Essex: 1768-: 208-211).
