Description
Goring Hall is a former house that later became a school and hospital, built around 1889 in the Queen Anne style. It is a replica of an earlier house on the same site designed by Charles Barry, which was destroyed by fire. The new building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features an entrance front with two storeys and seven windows. It has a panelled parapet and a cement band, with twelve-pane sash windows that have rubbed brick voussoirs and cornices above, as well as wooden jalousies. The closed-in porch has a round-headed arch and an eight-panel double door with an iron fanlight.
The garden front also has seven windows, including three in a central curved bow that spans both storeys. There are two modern attic windows added on the left side, and a 20th-century single-storey brick and cement classroom has replaced a greenhouse on the same side. Inside, the entrance hall features an elaborate wooden fireplace dated 1889 with the initial "L" and a tiled surround, along with six-panel doors and dado panelling with Gothic designs. The well staircase is in a Jacobean style, and there is a round-headed staircase window displaying the shield of the Lyon family and the motto "IN TE DOMINE SPERAVI."
The lounge contains a wooden fireplace designed in the early 18th century, inscribed with "HAE AEDES AEDIFICATAE AD 1840 INCENDIO DIRUTAE MON AUG 1888. RESTITUTAE ET EMENDATAE AD 1888-89," along with an iron fireback featuring gladiator designs. The dining room has a Jacobean-style ceiling with a central plasterwork design and a wooden Jacobean-style fireplace with a tiled surround and iron fireback. Goring Hall was built for the Lyon family, and it originally included a tower that has since been demolished.
