Wallsworth Hall

Country house, reputedly built in 1753, with alterations and extensions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The brick structure has limestone dressings, a slate roof, and brick stacks. The main rectangular body has 19th-century extensions at the rear, forming a U-shaped plan. Modern lean-tos to the rear right of the 18th-century main body are not of special interest.

The facade is largely as originally built, with two and a half storeys and flat-chamfered quoins. It is arranged with a 3:3:3 window layout. The ground floor windows are 15-pane sashes, while the first floor windows are 12-pane sashes, all featuring wide glazing bars and limestone keystones. Windows lighting the central section have moulded, lugged architraves. The central first-floor window has a pulvinated frieze, and three bullseye windows with moulded surrounds are positioned above, with the central window keyed. A stone balustrade with pedestals and ball finials at each end runs along the top, flanked by brick parapets with short sections of balustrading, interrupted by two 19th-century dormers containing 9-pane sashes within splayed, moulded architraves, enriched friezes, and triangular pediments topped with crests depicting dragon's heads.

A fielded 10-panel door sits within a portico featuring rusticated Roman Doric columns, an enriched frieze, and a triangular pediment with unfinished dripping icicle and flattened dentil decoration. The south front has double glazed 19th-century doors within an 18th-century portico with rusticated square columns and a segmental pediment containing a cartouche. A 19th-century bay window is located far to the right, and a heraldic shield with a dragon's head crest and the motto /Synar/Duhun/ sits above it. A three-light carved bay is set to the left. A 19th-century extension to the left has 6-pane sashes within moulded architraves, splayed at the bottom, and keystones. A 19th-century extension at the rear is lit by segmental-headed casements, some within moulded architraves, and some with keystones. The rear also features a 19th-century mansard roof and a square tower off-centre to the right, with bullseye windows flanked by pilasters with foliate brackets acting as capitals, and a pointed pyramidal leaded roof with a finial.

The interior includes an 18th-century fireplace in the front right-hand room. A very fine 18th-century mahogany staircase is present, with twisted balusters, moulded treads, and a shaped dado. The house was owned by Walter Wilkins (later de Winton) in 1803 and remained in the de Winton family’s ownership until 1879. It was later owned by the Dorrington family. The interior is currently inaccessible.
