Brookfield House
Grade II Date Listed 2/1/1988
Record ID 7327
Photo - Brookfield House in 1940's - confusingly
called Brook House before 1911 - as the house
across the road.
Listing gives: C17 origins with C19.
Exterior refronting and heightening; L-plan. 3-storey,
3 window coursed rubble front with plinth and later
cross range to left. Slate roof and rubble end
chimney stacks, with weathercoursing to left.
Recessed casement 3-light windows with concrete
lintels; 4-panel door off-centre to left under modern
hood. C19 gable-ended 1-window parallel rubble range forward to left with wide eaves; horned sash and
hopper window to front. Wave ornamented bargeboards and finial to right hand gable end over attached
hipped roof Victorian Schoolroom, screened to front by brick wall. 2-storey rear retaining steep roof pitch;
central dormer with sash window; some small pane sashes to left. To left rubble wall screens the stable
courtyard with coursed rubble gable ended coach house and stables, splayed back to rear and adjoining the
former corn mill.The interior retains broad entrance hall with exposed timber frame and post and panel
partitions. Massive stop chamfer moulded cross beams; the outer ones showing evidence of having held
screens; timber lintel to fireplace and boarded shutters. Fine dog-leg staircase with flat pierced balusters
(except to top landing), square newels with chamfered edges and finials. Mezzanine floor to right following
raising of dining room ceiling. Boarded doors to attic and original A-frame roof trusses retained with massive
purlins.
The buildings date to the medieval period (the Stable), and the main house was built between 1620 and 1660.
Significant Georgian extensions to the building were made between 1776 and 1790. The roof was raised on the
front of the Jacobean house to add windows and a usable second floor: ashlar markings were added to the
front, and an extension was built to join the building to its ‘outside’ kitchen, also providing a grand Georgian
bedroom, a ‘new’ kitchen and servants quarters. At the same time a Georgian coach house was added to the
front of the stables.
In 1843, the ‘school room’ (now the Jacobean house’s kitchen) was built in a period when the building was
used as a school.
The ‘open-plan’ hallway as it was in the 1950’s. At some point, the hall and drawing room were separated with
beautiful oak panelling.

Grade: II
Date Listed: 2 January 1988
Cadw Building ID: 7328
Listing gives: Probably later C18 with later alterations. 2-storey
broad 2-window coursed rubble front with plinth. Slate roof,
skylight, boarded eaves and rubble end chimney stacks with
weathercoursing and moulded caps. Voussoir lintels and keystones
over 4-pane sash windows. Bracketed hood over central entrance
with reeded pilasters, panelled reveals and carved entablature; 4panel (half glazed) door. Blocked basement opening to right.
Casement attic window on left gable end was partially obscured
when Brooke Cottage was added in later C19.
Electricity was first installed in Hay in Brook House, the home of
Mr. W. Lilwall and Mr. W. Elson, his son-in-law. It was switched on on 13 March 1913, the day that Elson's
eldest child was born. Light was installed in the bedroom for the nurse to deliver the baby. The original
installation was powered by Tangye (Birmingham) gas engines, the gas being produced from anthracite. These
two engines were known as the 'big' and 'little' engines, and were set up in sheds at the rear of Brook House.
Later, as demand increased, they were joined by an oil engine manufactured by Peter Brotherhood Ltd. of
Chippenham, Wilts. (see Fairs p. 119)
