Description
Sutton Hall is a house that was formerly the rectory, built between 1839 and 1843 by J Wild for the Sutton family. The exterior features knapped flint with gault brick dressings and tiled roofs with bargeboarded gables. The building has octagonal chimney stacks on bases with stepped offsets. The principal family and guest accommodation is located at the south end, while the service area and parish room are at the north end. Designed in the Tudor Gothic style, it includes cross frame casements with ovolo mullions and chamfered surrounds made of gault brick. A contemporary gabled porch is located at the east front, featuring a doorway with a four-centred double recessed arch and double doors. Above the door is a charge of the Sutton family, and there is a shield of arms in the gable on the garden front.
Inside, the original layout has been preserved. The hall features early 18th-century paving, and the two-storey hall includes a main staircase with column-on-vase balusters and a moulded rail. Ground floor rooms have marble fireplaces, one of which includes jewelled work. The house also has a cellar lined with red brick, which may date back to an earlier structure on the site.
