NHER 8174 (Building record) - Beeston St Andrew Hall

July 1977. Field Observation.
Visited by E. Rose (NAU).
Red brick: marked as New Hall on (S1), though it looks later than this - but not enough to postulate a rebuilding. Three storeys: no regular bays (five windows on 2nd floor, seven on first). Baroque pediment with volutes on central door.
Set between two curving wing-walls of blank arches. Apparently empty but in good condition.

1983. Relisting inspectorate did not consider the hall worthy of listing but listed the garden wall instead.

The hall was presumably not listed because, according to the NCC Inventory of Parks, it is a replica dating from 1897. The New Hall shown by (S1), which had replaced a 17th-century building, was demolished in 1846.
The garden walls however are partly 17th century.
E. Rose (NLA), 16 March 1994.

The listed garden walls are now recorded separately as NHER 66873. It should be noted that according to the present Listing Description they are of 18th-century date.

November 2010. Desk-based Assessment.
Assessment of historical significance of various buildings within or adjacent to large proposed development area to north-east of Norwich.
Beeston Hall (Building 9) is a large red brick structure of two and a half storeys with a hipped slate roof. Plat bands divide the main southern elevation with a scroll pediment above the central front door and vertical sash windows on each floor. An additional two-storey projection to the east may be contemporary and leads to several further outbuildings (not examined as part of this assessment).
The hall and the curving walls associated with the earlier dwelling are deemed to be of high historical significance.
See report (S3) for further details.
