4/39 Shingle Hall with walls radiating to NE, SE and SW 160 metres W of road -

GV II

House and forecourt walls. C17 or earlier house of Leventhorpe family, with later red brick front range, refronted in C19. Large double-fronted, double pile, 2 storeys and cellar, facing E, at site of manor house of medieval joint manors of Shingle Hall and Mathams, which had 15 hearths at the Hearth Tax of 1666. The wider rear range is plastered probably timberframed, has irregular fenestration, and is the focus of C16 red brick garden walls in English bond radiating 5 metres to NE, 16 metres to SE and 20 metres to SW. Parallel hipped roofs to front and rear parts, with chimneys on middle wall. Raised band of brickwork at 1st floor level on E front, returns on N flank. Central door, sash windows, and 2 single storey canted bays. Projecting porch off-centre at rear. The Leventhorpe family of Shingle Hall were one of the richest landowners in the area during the C15, C16 and C17. The red brick garden walls presumably date from the time of John Leventhorpe, Sheriff of Hertfordshire in 1593-4, knighted in 1603 and created baronet in 1622. The house stands at the centre of a group of historic farm buildings. (VCH III (1912) 339-40: WEA I (1966) 17).
