Description
Willey Hall is an 18th-century mansion designed by architect Lewis Wyatt in 1813. The building is constructed of stucco and stands three storeys tall, featuring three bays. It has a central Corinthian tetrastyle portico with a pediment and a festooned frieze on the inner face, flanked by three windows on each side. To the right, there is a domed semi-circular bay with a curved portico, and on the extreme left-hand side, a five-light wing. The eaves are dentilled, and there is a blocking course. Inside, the hall boasts a fine tunnel-vaulted design with a gallery supported by giant marble columns, a library with apsed ends, and a double curved staircase. This elegant mansion is noted as one of the last provincial houses built in the grand manner. It is part of a group that includes St John's Church, Willey Old Hall, and Church Row.
