The Old Hall, Grade II* listed building in Croscombe, England.
The Old Hall is a 15th-century structure with a remarkable open roof system supported by curved beams. The interior shows a spacious layout with a living area on the ground floor and sleeping rooms upstairs.
The building was constructed around 1420 as a residence for a member of the local nobility. About two centuries later, it was adapted to serve as a meeting place for a religious community.
The name comes from its role as a gathering space for the community. Visitors can still see the simple, functional design that shows how people once came together in this space.
The site is located in a village and is easily accessible by car. Parking is available on-site, and visitors should confirm in advance when and how access is possible.
During renovation work, laborers discovered a sealed opening that led to a long-vanished extension of the building. This hidden trace reveals how the original structure was once larger and more complex.
