Woodfold Hall

Woodfold Hall is a country house built in 1798 by the architect James Wyatt. It is now unoccupied and derelict. The house is constructed of sandstone rubble, with ashlar facing on the main facades and brick flues. The roof has been lost. The building is two storeys high, with a plinth, band, and cornice. The south facade has nine bays; the three central bays are flanked and separated by pilasters supporting a tetrastyle portico. The columns and pilasters are of the Composite order, with capitals fluted above a band of acanthus leaves. Few original sash windows with glazing bars remain, but the reveals are of plain ashlar. The east and west facades each have five bays, with the central bay on each side projecting and featuring tripartite windows. The ground-floor windows of these bays are set under a super-arch. At the rear, two wings extend northwards, enclosing a courtyard. The outer walls of these wings mostly remain standing, but the inner courtyard walls have collapsed. During a survey, the interior was only partially accessible, and little of the original decoration or architectural features appeared to survive.
