Description

East Norton Hall is a country house dating to approximately 1840, built in the Elizabethan style. It is constructed of coursed and squared ironstone rubble with limestone dressings, and has a stone-tiled roof. The main block is square in plan, with a large, lower wing attached. The east front, which serves as the main entrance front, has three bays with mullioned windows to the left, a tall, narrow projecting gable with tall three-light mullioned windows, and a wider gable recessed beyond. The mullioned windows have small, pedimented heads. The lower wing to the right is of 1½ storeys, with a doorway set in a stone architrave. Four bays with mullioned windows of two and three lights are beyond the doorway, and five gabled dormers are above. The north front is symmetrical with three gabled bays. The central doorway has a semi-circular fanlight within a stone architrave, set in a small porch with Doric pilasters on high pedestals, supporting a fretted parapet. A two-light window is to each side of the door, with minimal pediments, and paired lights above. The outer bays have squared bay windows of four tall lights with parapets featuring fretted decoration. Gabled attics have two-light mullioned windows. The west elevation has three bays to the main block, with a central door within an architrave featuring medallions in the entablature. There is a canted bay window to the right, and three-light windows with pedimented heads in the left-hand gable. A tall window is above the door, and gabled dormers are above that. The rear wing has two gables with large mullioned windows, and a relocated datestone from 1674 is set into one gable. All gables are coped with moulded kneelers. The building has gable and axial stacks.
