Thorganby Hall

Thorganby Hall is a small country house built in 1648, with early 19th-century alterations. It features limestone ashlar and some red brick, topped by a hipped slate roof that has a large central ridge stack and two projecting stacks on each return wall. The building has a two-storey, five-bay front that reflects a 17th-century plan with 19th-century casing and a first-floor band. The outer bays project slightly and include small rectangular projecting bays at the re-entrant angles, which have round-headed archways in the exposed projecting walls and single glazing bar sashes behind. The central bay contains a three-light window with a plain sash flanked by fixed lights. The outer bays have single windows of a similar design, with similar windows above. The single glazing bar sashes above the arches in the re-entrant angle blocks are blocked on the east and west sides. The first floor features a single three-light window with a plain sash and fixed lights in the central bay. The east return displays chevron-moulded eaves and has a central 17th-century doorway with a moulded four-centred head, moulded jambs, and a 20th-century panelled door, with a datestone inscribed "1648" above. Projecting stacks flank the doorway, with single glazing bar sashes beyond. An early 19th-century round-headed staircase window is located above the door, flanked by blocked rectangular openings, with similar blocked openings beyond the stacks. The rear facade is red brick with ashlar dressings. There are lower 19th-century additions set back to the left of the south front. The interior has been significantly altered in the early 19th century, although most of the 17th-century walls remain intact.
