Tolethorpe Hall

Tolethorpe Hall is a country house dating from the late 16th or early 17th century, with a central section remodelled in the 18th century and the south wings altered around 1867. The house is constructed of ashlar and coursed rubble with Collyweston stone slate roofs, and features moulded stone ridge stacks. It has an H-shaped plan, with the main facade facing north and large, cross-gabled wings projecting to the south. The house has two storeys and attics.

The north facade has five bays, with gabled projections at each end. The westernmost bay has mullioned windows with hollow chamfers. An altered 17th-century ashlar porch, featuring a coped gable, a finial, and a semi-circular headed entrance arch within fluted pilasters and an entablature, stands adjacent to the west gable. The porch contains a four-light window and a blank plaque above. The central and east parts of the north facade have 18th and 19th-century windows. A moulded cornice runs along the central part of the facade.

The south face of the central part includes a moulded cornice, a parapet, a stringcourse, and raised architraves with keystones over the windows, as well as a semi-circular headed entrance in the west. The south wings are taller and have coped gables. Two-storey rectangular bay windows are present on each wing, with Gothic traceried parapets and dormers above. A portion of the 19th-century west wing was partially demolished in 1983.
