Newell Hall

Newell Hall is a large house, dating from the early 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is now used as a home for the elderly. The house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, distinguished by a decorative arrangement of blue headers. It has a low-pitched slate roof. Originally, the house had a rectangular plan of four rooms, but it has since been extended on all sides and to the rear. An early 19th-century stable block and yard are located adjacent to the west.

The house has two storeys and attics. Several chimneys are topped with cornices and clay pots. The exterior features a brick plinth, a decorative band, a moulded brick cornice with dentils, and a panelled parapet. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set in moulded frames and topped with gauged brick arches.

The original south-facing front is composed of five bays, with three flat-roofed dormers concealed behind the parapet. The bricks above the central window are arranged in a flat arch with a cut, curved pattern. The central entrance has a double door consisting of six fielded panels, a recessed panel design, and an eared architrave. Above the door is a patterned overlight. A two-bay extension, likely from the late 18th century, is slightly recessed and built in a similar style to the original house. A two-bay gabled extension, projecting slightly, is located on the right. This extension includes a stone band, kneelers, and a gable with an inset brick tympanum.

The interior features a large, open staircase hall with a central staircase, which has turned balusters, newell posts, and a moulded handrail. The ceiling has a decorative moulded cornice with acanthus leaf detailing. The sitting room has a moulded ceiling cornice adorned with palmette ornamentation, a fireplace with a marble inset, an eared architrave with bead and reel ornament, a moulded cornice, and a frieze featuring floral and shell motifs across three projecting panels. Windows in the main rooms have moulded architraves and panelled shutters.
