Stallington Hall Hospital and attached stables

This is a former country house and attached stable block, dating to the late 18th century, with alterations and remodelling around 1900, possibly for Sir Hill Child. The building is constructed of red brick with stone quoins and dressings, and has shallow, hipped, slated roofs.

The exterior is two and three storeys high. The entrance front features a projecting, single-storey stone balustraded feature with four sash windows, stone flat arches, and keystones. An entrance is to the right, with a round arch and keystone. Behind this rises a square tower with a lugged oculus above a stone-cased sash window. The right-hand return is a garden front with an asymmetrically set projecting wing of two windows and a pediment with a lugged oculus; the basement is at ground floor level and stone-clad. To the right is a similar bay with balustrades at eaves level; to the left a narrow bay of two windows, set back, followed by a bay of three windows with balustrade. Attached to this front is a stone-revetted terrace with a stone balustrade of round-headed arches, running around the front of the house. The left-hand return from the entrance front has a central, full-height bay of three windows, flanked by single window bays, all with gauged brick heads. To the rear is an attached former stable block, the central pavilion of which has a pyramidal roof and classical stone dressings to the garden front.

The interior retains two late 18th-century staircases; the main one has three turned balusters per tread, and the back stair also has three balusters, the central one being a barley-sugar turned baluster. Some rooms are panelled, one featuring a screen of paired Doric columns and a coffered ceiling. There are three elaborately carved timber chimneypieces, one in a Jacobean style, featuring herms.

Stallington Hall was formerly the home of Sir Hill Child, and was purchased in 1928 by the City Corporation for the care of 77 adults with learning disabilities.
