Haile Hall

Haile Hall is the historic seat of the Ponsonby family. It dates from 1591 with later additions.

Parish church

Haile Parish Church is a small church located in a vale just outside the village. It is surrounded by a churchyard and mature trees. According to an entry in the Archbishops' Council (Church of England) website, the "little church at Haile, with no dedication, has Georgian plain arched windows, but the walls are medieval. The west porch was added by Ferguson in 1882, and the Church restoration took place mainly in 1883. A South-East quoin in the nave is part of a Saxon cross-shaft, with scrolls. Outside against the West wall is a monument to John Ponsonby (1670, while the window depicting St George and the dragon, is a memorial to a later Ponsonby, who died in 1952". [4]

The village hall has its basis in work, commenced in 1879, on a new Haile and Wilton School. It was used as a school until its closure in 1955. The building was then maintained by Haile Church until 1974 when it was transferred to an independent charity and established as Haile Village Hall. It was refurbished in 2000. [5] [ dead link ]
