The Hall

The Hall is a large house that now serves as a boarding house for Uppingham School. It dates from 1612, although the datestone is a replacement, and has undergone later alterations and additions. The building is constructed of ashlar with a Collyweston stone slate roof, featuring coped gables and moulded stone ridge and end stacks. The main block is U-shaped.

The south front, which was remodelled in the 18th century, is made of ironstone ashlar and includes a paler band between the storeys. It has a nine-window range with 6/6 sash windows set in raised architraves. There is an off-centre door with a shouldered architrave, topped with a cornice and pediment. The north front has a 1-3-1 arrangement with projecting gables. The left gable features a datestone, a blocked 2-light ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned window, and a 9/9 sash window below, all in raised architraves. The right gable has a similar blocked window along with two 6/6 sash windows. The central part, which was extended in the 18th century, has two storeys of 6/6 sash windows and a projecting central porch. Inside, the original wall remains and retains part of a 3-light mullioned window.

A wing to the north-east, originally from the 17th century (up to the level of the cornice), was heightened in the 19th century and features a gabled stair turret at the angle and ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned windows. There is also a tall 19th-century wing to the west and a long 19th-century wing to the north. The interior was damaged by fire around 1970 but still retains two stone 4-centred arched fireplaces (which have been reset) and a fully-panelled room. The panelling in this room comes from two periods, likely around 1700 and the mid-18th century, and includes a fine mid-18th-century fireplace. Other panelling was imported to replace what was lost in the fire.
