Thackray House

Thackray House is a Grade II listed house located on Hatfield Manor Road. The rear wing is dated 'TS / 1782', while the front range was likely built later in the 18th century for Joseph Thackray. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features stone slate eaves courses leading to pantile roofs. It is two stories high with a three-bay front, including a lower wing to the rear left and additional structures in the angle.

The entrance front has three bays, with the central gabled bay projecting forward. This bay features a round-arched recess that contains a part-glazed door and a fanlight with Gothick glazing bars, all beneath a flat arch. The outer bays have projecting sills for the sashes, which are adorned with glazing bars and set beneath rubbed-brick flat arches. There is a moulded stone eaves cornice and a pedimented gable with a quatrefoil in the tympanum, surrounded by a rubbed-brick frame and containing a roundel. The gable is topped with shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings.

The external end stacks have offsets and tabling. On the left return, there is a French window with a four-pane overlight to the left of the stack, beneath a sash with glazing bars. To the right of the stack are unequally-hung 15-pane sashes. The left wing features a French window and fanlight with Gothick glazing bars beneath a shaped datestone, along with various other sashes and dentilled eaves.

Hatfield Church of St. Lawrence contains a monument to Joseph Thackray, a Civil Engineer who died on January 22nd, 1828. This house was presumably his residence and may have been designed by him.
