Dalby Hall

Dalby Hall is a small country house, originally dating to the 18th century, but largely rebuilt in 1856 after a fire. The rebuilding was undertaken by James Fowler of Louth for J. W. Preston, with later additions by Temple Moore. The house is constructed of stock brick, with some red brick to the base, and has a hipped slate roof. It features three ridge stacks and four rear stacks, all of stock brick. The overhanging eaves are supported by pairs of brackets on the second, third, and fourth bays from the right. These three bays also have a first-floor band. The house has six bays; the left two bays are three storeys high, while the right four bays are two storeys high. The right and second left bays are bowed. A gabled porch has a round arched decorative barge board, and contains an arched entrance with a panelled double door and decorative fanlight. A glazed inner door also has a plain fanlight. To the right of the entrance is a single arched glazing bar sash window, and further right in the bow are three glazing bar sashes. To the left of the entrance is a similar arched sash window, with three glazing bar sashes in the bow and a single similar glazing bar sash in the far left bay. Above the ground floor are three similar arched sashes; to the right of that on the left is a single small sash window. The bows both have three glazing bar sashes, and the bow on the left also has three glazing bar sashes above, with a single small fixed light to the left and a single similar sash in the far left bay. The interior is reportedly partly by Temple Moore, but has not been inspected.
