Downham Hall

Downham Hall is a country house built in 1835 by George Webster, with some remnants from around 1600. It is constructed of limestone and sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings and has a slate roof, showcasing a Grecian style. The building has two storeys with attics.

The north facade features two outer projecting wings, each with two bays. The central bay projects forward and is topped with a pedimented gable, along with a single-storey tetrastyle portico supported by unfluted Greek Doric columns. This central section connects to the wings at ground level and has three-sided projections on the first floor. The windows are sashed with glazing bars and have aprons on the ground floor, while a sill band runs along the first floor. The central projecting bay's window is flanked by shields representing Henry de Lacy and John of Gaunt. The facade is finished with a cornice and blocking course, and there are chimneys on the ridge and above the outer walls, some positioned over windows.

The south facade presents a balanced composition with two outer projecting wings: the eastern wing has two bays, while the western wing has one bay. The central section consists of five bays and includes a porch with two paired antae, which is a 20th-century reconstruction that maintains the original style. The west wing shows masonry with traces of dressings from the earlier house. The west facade has three bays, with the central bay flanked by pilasters. The ground floor windows feature architraves and cornices on console brackets, with the outer windows having aprons, and the central window has been converted into a door. Later 19th-century additions can be found on the east side of the house.

Inside, there is an open-well staircase with stick balusters and a ramped handrail. The library contains Grecian bookcases designed by Webster.
