Description
Healds Hall is a large Georgian house built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar and features a hipped roof with a bracketed eaves cornice. The building has three storeys and a symmetrical five-bay facade, with single-storey wings on both the left and right sides. The central door is accessed by three steps and has a moulded surround with a pulvinated frieze. Consoles support a segmental pediment above the door. The sashes on the left and right sides of the door previously had alternate triangular and segmental pediments, which have since been removed. The first-floor sashes are topped with cornices, and the central light has an architrave, pulvinated frieze, and triangular pediment. The second floor features smaller sashes, with the central one also having an architrave. There is a later addition to the rear of the house.
Healds Hall was the home of the Reverend Hammond Roberson, who inspired the character of Reverend Mathew Helstone in Charlotte Brontë's novel 'Shirley' and played a significant role in the construction of several churches in the area.
