Edge Hall

Edge Hall is a house that was largely built in 1721, with its core dating back to around 1600. It has been extended at the rear and sides around 1790 and is situated on a moated site. The building is constructed of brick with stone plinths and dressings, topped with a slate roof. It stands two stories tall and features six bays, with two gables on the left and three on the right of the entrance section.

Each gable has two recessed sash windows, while the central section has three. The ten recessed sashes below the gables have decorative glazing, one of which is inscribed with "BD 1768." These windows have stone cills, fluted surrounds, and dropped keystones that display the family crest. The entrance section is recessed and has a brick parapet with stone balusters, stone quoins, and a stone band. Above this is an octagonal open cupola with a hemispherical roof and a ball finial. The three recessed sashes in raised moulded cases have plain keystones, with some featuring cambered brick heads. The stone doorcase has Corinthian pilasters that support an open segmental pediment, leading to a six-panel door. The stone gable coping and finials are adorned with the family crest, which is also present on the lead downspouts.

At the rear, there are 17th-century two-and-a-half storey bays that feature dentillated bands on the first and second floors. The near flush sashes with glazing bars have stone cills and heads. A two-storey bowed bay from around 1790 has flat recessed sashes, some of which have glazing bars. Other wings include near flush sashes with glazing bars, with some being blank. The stone coping and ball finials are consistent throughout.

Inside, the hall features a stone Ionic screen, panelling with Ionic pilasters, and 19th-century Ionic antae. The doorcases are bolection moulded. The dining room includes panelling and plasterwork, with strapwork on the ceiling and an elaborate chimneypiece. The doors vary between two, six, and eight panels. An oak open string stair, dating to around 1700 but much restored, has a moulded rail and twisted balusters. The first floor contains a small area of exposed close studding with a rail inscribed "HD 1304," along with 17th and 18th-century panelling.
