Shenton Hall

Shenton Hall is a house built around 1620, which was significantly enlarged in the mid-19th century with the addition of a rear range. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has a plain tiled roof. The entrance front features three storeys and six bays, arranged asymmetrically. The outer bays consist of segmental full-height bay windows beneath coped gables, while the central bay has a full-height canted bay window that originally housed the doorway, which is now a window. On the left side, there are four-light mullioned and transomed windows on each floor, accompanied by a side wall stack. The windows throughout the building have ovolo mouldings on their mullions and transoms, although many glass panes are blind. A high parapet runs between the outer gables.

The main entrance is now located on the eastern elevation within a full-height bay, a feature from the Victorian additions, designed in a Jacobean style with a segmentally arched doorway and decorative strapwork relief above. The Victorian range reflects the original style but on a larger scale, incorporating large mullioned and transomed windows, with the only significant departure from domestic proportions being a machicolated tower at the western corner.

Inside, there is a deeply moulded beam inscribed with "This house was built by me, William Wollaston, A.D.1629," and one panelled room from that period. The Victorian additions exhibit a heavy baronial style, although one fireplace, featuring a massive carved wood surround and overmantle, is believed to be a 17th-century Spanish import. To the west of the house, there is a mid-19th-century stable courtyard made of brick with plain tiled roofs, coped gables, and a central cupola on the street range, along with chamfered door and window openings on the inner elevations. Brick piers form a retaining wall that separates the stable yard from the garden and is attached to the house on the south side.
