Weston Hall

WESTON LONDON ROAD TM 48 NW 5/50 Weston Hall 1-9-53 GV II* A fragment of a mansion. Late C16, probably for John Rede (d.1605); largely demolished 1821 following a fire. The house had an E-shape plan: what survives is the south wing and one bay of the centre range, together with a late C18/early C19 rear wing. Red brick with a brick dentil eaves cornice. The roof is mainly plaintiled but the later wing is pantiled. 2 storeys and attics. The gable end of the wing is crowstepped, with octagonal corner buttresses surmounted by moulded brick finials. This gable end has original mullion and transom windows of 5,4 and 3 lights in diminishing size upwards; the windows are stuccoed, with rusticated stucco surrounds and triangular pediments. The inner return of this wing and the centre range have similar ground floor windows of 5 and 6 lights respectively; the upper windows have been blocked but parts of the stucco surrounds remain. One hipped plastered dormer with a circular window with leaded glass. The wing has an external stack with 2 octagonal flues on moulded bases. Various sash windows to rear, with some evidence for original window openings. Against the rear wall is a second original stack with 3 octagonal flues. Mid C20 entrance door in rebuilt gable end to right. The interior has been modernised.
