Description

Newfield Hall is an early 19th-century mansion located on Middlewich Road in Minshull Vernon. It is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof. The building has a double pile design and is two stories high, with a four-bay west garden front, a three-bay return to the north, and a four-bay return to the south.

On the north side of the west front, there is a single-storey entrance porch that has a stone plinth and a pair of two-panel bolection moulded doors set in a recessed opening with a cambered arch and keystone. The porch is adorned with a stone cornice, a parapet, and ball finials. The windows throughout the building are primarily sash windows with glazing bars, stone sills, and flat gauged arches. The twin west gables feature square sunk ends to the purlins, and similar detailing is found on the brackets that support the cornice and moulded gutter on the north and south elevations. There is one built-up window opening on the north elevation and two on the south. Additionally, there are a pair of French windows with bolection moulded lower panels in the south return.

Flanking the north and south corners of the west front are stone elephants with howdahs, which are said to have come from Adderley Hall near Market Drayton. Inside, the hall features six-panel doors and a geometrical staircase with a hipped lantern above at the landing level. At the rear of the property, there is an earlier but more altered farmhouse that is of no interest.
