Description

Stanfield Hall is a house built in 1792 by William Wilkins Sn, with some remnants of 16th-century brickwork at the rear. It underwent alterations between 1830 and 1835. The building is constructed of brick with a stone internal hall and has a roof made of graded Cumberland slate.

The exterior features two to three storeys, with the east front displaying five bays. A projecting central porch includes polygonal corner turrets topped with pyramid caps. The entrance has a four-centred doorway with a square hoodmould and a coat of arms above it. The outer bays rise to create shouldered gables with corner pinnacles, balancing a central gabled dormer. The façade, reflecting the 1830s style, mainly consists of four-light cross casements with four-centred heads. The roof is gabled and supported by a stepped brick corbel table, with two clustered stacks of four flues each visible from the front.

To the north, there is a two-storey 19th-century range extending for three bays, featuring similar fenestration. The south front includes two full-height canted bays with crenellated parapets, separated by two window bays, and has three matching dormers. More clustered stacks are visible from this side.

Inside, the entrance hall leads to a central staircase hall that rises through two storeys, featuring an elaborate fan vault with a pendant in the Gothick style characteristic of Wilkins. Clustered shafts extend through all four elevations, with clerestory windows on the east and west walls; the west wall also has a canopied niche. A cantilevered stone staircase is located to one side, returning through a balcony stage, with sea-weed foliage carving on the tread ends and cast-iron balusters with pointed arches, along with a ramped and wreathed handrail. One room to the north contains 16th-century roll-moulded bridging beams.

The parish boundary between Wymondham and Ketteringham runs through the house.
