Walton Hall

Walton Hall is a house built around 1740 to 1750, with alterations made in the late 18th century, and it is initialled and dated AC1799. The building is constructed of red brick and features a slate mansard roof. It has two storeys and an attic, with a five-window arrangement of 2:1:2, where the central bay projects forward. The first floor has angle pilasters with rusticated quoins, and the central bay is also rusticated. There is a moulded brick plinth, string courses above the ground floor window arches and at the first floor cill level, a moulded brick modillion cornice, and a brick parapet with stone coping. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, set beneath cambered arches and with stone cills. The doorcase features Roman Doric fluted pilasters, a metope and triglyph frieze, and a segmental pediment above a six-panel door, where the upper two panels are glazed, and the middle two are raised and fielded, matching the doorcase reveals, which also have raised and fielded upper panels. There are three gabled casement dormers set back behind the parapet, and the end stacks are inscribed with AC1799, indicating the initial of Anthony Collett.

Inside, there is an oak staircase from Brightwell Hall in Suffolk, dated 1633, featuring an open string, shaped brackets, and three twisted balusters per tread. The stairwell has a panelled dado, and the first-floor fireplace is adorned with a Rococo frieze on the mantelpiece.
