Description
Greatford Hall is a small country house built in the 17th century and significantly rebuilt in 1930 after a fire in 1922, by Major C. C. L. Fitzwilliam. The building is constructed of ashlar and features Collyweston slate roofs with stone coped gables and tall ashlar wall stacks with grouped square and diamond set shafts. It has a U-plan layout, with the south front comprising two storeys and attics, featuring six irregular bays, with the end bays having separate gables.
The entrance is an off-centre, four-centred arched doorway with a hood mould and an escutcheon above it. To the right of the doorway is a six-light window, and to the left are two tall four-light transomed windows, one of which is a rectangular bay window, followed by a four-light window and another six-light window. On the first floor, there are two three-light windows and two four-light windows. The two gabled dormers and the end gables each contain a three-light window. All windows feature cavetto moulded mullions, moulded surrounds, and cornices. The roof includes three hipped dormers with two-light casements that have slate hung cheeks.
The hall was once owned by Dr. Francis Willis, who died in 1807 and was the physician to George III. The building has not been fully inspected.
