Details
TANNINGTON TANNINGTON GREEN TM 26 NW 5/68 Tannington Hall 29.7.55 - II* House. Late C16; rear additions of c,1950. Timber framed and plastered with English-bond red brick parapet gable end to right, perhaps original. Plaintiled roof. 2 storeys and attics. A single long range. 6 windows, C18 mullion and transom casements of 2, 3 and 4 lights; C20 square-leaded glass. To right is an C18 doorway with moulded architrave and 6-panel raised and fielded door; above is a 4-light oblong fanlight and cornice. Mid C20 French windows to left. Right gable end has blocked original windows, with a hoodmould over the attic opening; moulded brick finial at apex of gable. The present windows are flush-frame sashes with glazing bars under flat lintols: 2 to the main floors and one at attic level. Against the rear wall are 3 massive stacks, each with the moulded bases of 2 octagonal shafts, the remainder replaced by coupled square shafts of C19 date. Interior. Both the parlour and parlour chamber have particularly fine late C16 ornamental plaster ceilings in an almost perfect state of preservation. The parlour ceiling has interlaced moulded ribs forming geometric patterns, with pendant bosses, fruit and foliage and 4 square cartouches infilled with fruit and leaves; around the wall is a moulded frieze with similar decoration. The ceiling in the chamber is divided into 4 by cross-beams richly decorated with fruit and foliage; each compartment has an identical pattern of interlaced ribs with bosses; motifs include the Tudor rose, designs of flowers and acorn foliage. The frieze has flowing arabesque work. The hall has a plaster ceiling with simply-moulded cross-beams. Some of the framing is visible on the upper floor: chamfered cross-beams to hall chamber, an original gable end window with ovolo mullions and evidence for other windows. Several C16 fireplaces, the best on the upper floor at the left end, with a moulded 4-centred arch. Between hall and parlour is a wide dog-leg stair with solid treads. The attic stair immediately above cuts through a C16 floor with substantial on-edge joists. Most of the roof structure is concealed: there are clasped and butt purlins with arched wind-braces. Remains of medieval moat.
