Description: | PRN 12776
The building has a date stone of 1613 which is located under one window and another date stone of 1614 in the gable. However, it seems to be late 15th century in date by the style of the windows, which are straight-headed, with the lights ending in four-centred cusped arches. The gable is stepped. The crude brick string and cornice relate to the local fen style. {1}
A former country house which has been separated into three houses. The building apparently dates from the 16th century and was extended in the 17th century. There is also evidence of the building being extended and altered in c.1900. It was built in the Fen Artisan Mannerist style with colourwashed brick and has painted ashlar dressings. The roofs are slate and there are two crow stepped gables with kneelers. The right hand gable bears a pinnacle with a 19th century date plaque in the form of a loaf of bread which reads "WCH 1614". The left hand gable dates from the 19th century and was built to match the first. It also has a pinnacle. To the right, at a low level, is a datestone inscribed "1613" and the initials "BEE" are visible. The left hand gable has a central plain sash with a three light, early 16th century, window. On the garret is a two light, 16th century, window. Above this, is a datestone of "1654" and the initials "IID". Whiteloaf Hall is supposed to be the first place where a white loaf of bread was baked.
