Description
The courtyards and railings at Lynford Hall date from around 1862 and were designed by W. Burns. The structures are made of brick with stone dressings and feature slate roofs and cast iron railings. There are two interconnected courtyards on the north side of the hall. The inner courtyard has blind arcading on the north and east sides, with a central slightly advanced coachway to the north. It features semicircular stone-dressed arches with occasional raised voussoirs, and a clock tower in the northeast corner topped with a leaded cupola. The north range is roofless. The west side includes a highly elaborate cast iron screen, designed by Turner of London in the Rococo style, which has a two-leaf central gateway (one leaf is missing) beneath a three-centred overthrow.
The outer courtyard is surrounded by what were once the coach house, stables, and living accommodation. It resembles the inner courtyard, featuring an axially positioned gabled coachway. The east range has one and a half storeys and five sash windows with glazing bars set beneath skewback arches, along with one renewed central entrance. There are four steeply gabled dormer windows with two-light casements and glazing bars. The east side of the north range has an arcade that is partially blocked and has been converted into 'motel' accommodation, while garages are located on the west side of the north range.
