The origins of Barnacle Hall can be traced back to the medieval period, with parts of the building believed to date back to the 15th and 16th Centuries. Barnacle Hall is likely to have served as a Manor House for the local landowner and is a classic example of English vernacular architecture with timber framing and brick work. It is believed that there were additions made to The Hall during the 17th and 18th centuries, which introduced some Georgian elements, while at the same time, maintaining its medieval character.

Location

Barnacle itself is a small settlement with a history stretching back to the The Domesday Book of 1066. Historically, the area was part of the estate of Coombe Abbey, a nearby monastic estate.

The name 'Barnacle' is believed to derive from Old English referring to "a clearing near a barn".
