Doreward's Hall, Grade II* listed building in Bocking Church Street, Braintree, England.
The L-shaped structure combines brick and timber-framed construction, featuring octagonal buttresses, mullioned windows, and tiled roofs across its two-story layout.
Edward Thursby rebuilt the hall in 1579, incorporating elements from earlier periods, while subsequent modifications during the 17th and 18th centuries expanded its architectural composition.
The building preserves an early 17th-century overmantel and numerous architectural details that demonstrate the evolution of English domestic architecture across multiple centuries.
Currently operating as a divided farmhouse, Doreward's Hall sits within 210 acres of farmland and maintains its original structural features under Grade II* protection.
The southwest end of the west wing displays the date 1572, which researchers have determined was not part of the original construction.
