Kenton Hall

Kenton Hall is a manor house dating from the late 16th century, which underwent alterations after a fire gutted it in 1919. The east wing was built around 1920, replacing earlier structures. The building features a long west wing with a short return to the north, constructed from red brick laid in English bond, and includes octagonal corner buttresses. There is a moulded brick string course at the first floor level, and a 20th-century coved eaves cornice, with the walls no longer extending to full height. The roof is a 20th-century hipped design covered with plain tiles.

The main facade faces west and consists of eight bays arranged in a 4:2:2 pattern, separated by the octagonal buttresses. The windows include 2 and 3-light ovolo-moulded mullioned and mullion and transom designs made of stuccoed brick, featuring restored quoined stucco surrounds and moulded pediments above the ground floor windows. The ground floor window openings in the first and second bays are blocked, while the windows in the seventh and eighth bays have been replaced by a single central window. There are two small blocked openings between the sixth and seventh bays, with the upper one featuring a hoodmould. The building also has two 20th-century hipped dormers and two 20th-century chimney stacks. The gable ends are one bay wide, with intact windows on the south side. The north gable end has a 20th-century timber window at ground level, while the upper window is blocked, retaining original stucco quoining on both openings. The north wing is fragmentary and has been partly rebuilt in the 20th century.

Inside, the building was gutted by the fire, but the early 20th-century wing contains 16th-century fully-moulded cross-beams and plain joists, likely salvaged from an older wing that was completely destroyed. The manor is situated on a moated site.
