Redworth Hall

Redworth Hall is a large country house that now serves as a residential school. It has a core that dates back to the 17th century, with a rear wing added in 1744 and further extensions made around 1820 by Robert Surtees, along with additional work in 1899. The building is constructed of squared sandstone rubble and features plain-tiled roofs and stone chimney stacks.

The house has a T-shaped plan, with a 19th-century entrance front that includes an off-centre rear wing. The entrance front is two stories high, plus gabled attics, and has an irregular six-bay centre flanked by wide, projecting cross-wings. The stone-mullioned windows, which are either two or three lights, some with transoms, have leaded and latticed casements and moulded labels. A full-height, projecting off-centre porch features a moulded four-centred doorway and a carved Achievement of Surtees Arms beneath a small gable. To the left, there is a similar projecting three-storey square bay. The three flanking bays include two-storey canted stone bay windows with embattled parapets and gabled attics.

The left wing has similar two-storey canted bay windows and attic windows, while the right wing features a tall canted oriel window with an embattled parapet, a tall 12-light window, and a gabled attic on the inner left return, along with a stepped external chimney and flanking windows on the right return. All gables are topped with moulded copings, and the steeply-pitched roofs are adorned with stepped, conjoined, and corniced octagonal stacks along the ridge.

At the rear of the right wing, there is a four-storey square-plan tower with an embattled parapet and a taller stair turret. The three-storey, three-bay rear wing has a central replaced door set in an open-pedimented Tuscan doorcase, with scattered 12-pane sash windows.

Inside, the hall features mainly 19th-century elements styled in an early 17th-century manner, including a large Tudor-arched stone fireplace with a massive carved overmantel and flanking recesses located in the former Banqueting Hall. Several six-panel doors with wood architraves can also be found throughout the interior. Redworth Hall was the home of Robert Surtees, a distinguished historian who died in 1834.
