Milton Hall

Milton Hall is a Grade I listed building that dates back to 1594, with an attic added in 1773 by Sir William Chambers and a south front constructed between 1745 and 1750 by Flitcroft. It was built by William Fitzwilliam, who served as Lord Deputy of Ireland. The hall is constructed of ashlar stone with stone roofs. The north front, dating from around 1600, features battlements and a long range with eight projecting bays, each containing one window. The bays are canted, with two having stairs, and two treated as one-story bays with arched lights, possibly dating from the late 16th century. The two-storey porch has a round arch flanked by Tuscan columns, with an Ionic column above. The attic, designed by Sir William Chambers in 1773, has a mansard roof and features four tripartite lunettes with pedimented dormers. The south front, designed by Flitcroft in the Palladian style, is two and a half storeys tall with nine bays. The end bays project and have canted bay windows, while the central pedimented section breaks forward and includes a round-arched doorway flanked by lights, a Venetian window on the first floor, and a tripartite lunette in the half storey. The three-bay west front also has a canted bay. To the east of the south front is a wing with a bow window, built around 1800 by Carr.

Inside, there are no remnants of the original circa 1600 interior; most features date from around 1750, 1770, and 1800. The entrance hall, dating from circa 1750, has a coved stuccoed ceiling and a chimney piece with an open pediment. The dining room boasts a rococo ceiling, while the pillared hall features a screen of Tuscan columns. The staircase includes a wrought-iron balustrade, a stuccoed ceiling, and a lantern. The former library, designed by Carr, showcases Adam-style decoration. The long gallery, decorated by Chambers, has a segmental vault and a central dome. The Peterborough dining room is also attributed to Chambers, and the boudoir features Chinese wallpaper dated 1749. The garden was remodelled by Repton in 1791. It is believed that a village once existed at Milton.
