Wyton Hall

Wyton Hall is a house, largely rebuilt in the 18th century around 1785, probably for Captain Raines, with later additions. It is constructed of red brick, rendered and colour-washed, with a timber eaves cornice and a graduated slate roof. The house has a double-pile plan and three storeys, originally arranged with five bays in a 2:1:2 configuration. The central three bays project slightly. The front door consists of six raised and fielded panels, topped by a fanlight with curvilinear glazing bars, and is set within an early 19th-century Doric porch featuring paired columns, a triglyph frieze, a mutule cornice, and a blocking course. French windows with glazing bars are on either side of the entrance, while sash windows with glazing bars and sills are at the ends of the facade, all with channelled wedge lintels and raised keyblocks. A first-floor band runs along the facade. The first floor features sash windows with glazing bars and sills, again with channelled wedge lintels and raised keyblocks. The second floor has six-panel windows with sills, also under channelled wedge lintels with raised keyblocks. An eaves cornice, embellished with paired brackets, runs around the building. Chimneys are located at the ends, and the roof is hipped. A single-storey, two-bay extension to the left has a sill band and sash windows with glazing bars, under channelled wedge lintels with raised keyblocks, and a hipped roof. The original doorcase has been reused at a rear entrance. Later extensions to the sides are not considered to be of particular architectural interest. The interior has suffered extensive damage, though some six-panel doors, in three different designs, remain. The building was disused and derelict at the time of the last survey.
