Boringdon Hall
Boringdon Hall〔Formerly known as Boringdon House〕 is a 16th-century Grade II listed〔(Listed Grade I 20 February 1952 )〕 manor house in the parish of Colebrook, about two miles north of Plympton, Devon.
==Description==
The oldest parts of the present house are said by John Britton (1771–1857) to have been built about
the middle of the 14th century. Due to subsequent alterations the building is difficult to date accurately and Pevsner states it to be "irritating for the historian" as it incorporates a multitude of imported period features and materials, giving it "a superficially convincing instant patina". The house was described by Polwhele in the 18th century as "ruinous", and by 1980 only the walls were standing. In about 1800 the whole range east of the entrance porch was demolished, and this has now been rebuilt in the Tudor style. In 1986 the restoration of the building began on completion of which it was used as a hotel, in which capacity it continues. Britton believed the main entrance porch, consisting of a semicircular arch, with Norman-style cable mouldings, to be of ancient date, brought from some neighbouring church, or even Plympton Castle. The double-height great hall survives largely intact and is situated to the left from the now lost screens passage on entering the porch. Two double-height windows are situated on the south side of the Hall, whilst on the north side is the large granite fireplace, on the lintel of which is carved the arms of Parker, and above which on the chimney breast is a very large ornamental plaster depiction of the royal coat of arms of King Charles I (1625–1649), dated to 1640. On either side of the arms is a larger than lifesize female figure, to the viewer's left, Peace, and to the right the figure of Plenty, holding a cornucopia. Many of the door-frames are of granite, yet are not in their original positions, for example that now forming the entrance to the great hall from the now lost sreens passage was formerly in the south-east room, where it had been used as a fireplace.〔Pevsner, p.190〕 The ornate plaster ceiling of the great hall is said by Pevsner to be a modern pastiche, albeit well-executed. At each end of the hall is a gallery.
