Worlington Old Hall

Worlington Old Hall is a house dating from the early 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th and early 19th centuries. It has two storeys and is constructed of timber framing that is rendered, featuring an early 19th-century parapet with a modillioned cornice. The roofs are covered with plain tiles, hipped on the left side and gabled on the right where there is a cross-wing. A central chimney is made of gault and red brick. The building has early 19th-century small-pane sash windows and a one-storey semi-circular portico supported by slender Doric columns, topped with an entablature and a flat leaded roof. Early 19th-century French doors with an oblong fanlight featuring intersecting bars are also present. Originally, the front wall jutted out at the first floor, but this was altered in the early 19th century when the wall was underbuilt and re-fenestrated, concealing the exposed face of the 16th-century chimney at ground level. This chimney features sunk panels with trefoil-headed arcading in carved red brick. Inside, the hall contains rib-moulded beams from the first floor and a large open fireplace from the early 16th century, along with some panelling and other 18th-century features. To the right, a one-storey service wing with attics was added around 1800.
