Old Byland Hall

Old Byland Hall is a house consisting of two sections built in the late 18th century and mid 19th century. The structure is made of limestone rubble brought to course, with a Westmorland slate roof on the 18th-century section and a Welsh slate roof on the 19th-century section.

The 18th-century part, located on the left, is two storeys high with four bays. It features a glazed door with a radial fanlight in the third bay, flanked by sash windows with glazing bars. On the first floor, there are 16-pane sash windows with keyed stone lintels. The ends have corniced stacks with herringbone tooling, and there is a Venetian staircase window on the rear facade.

The 19th-century section to the right is also two storeys and has four bays. It includes a glazed door in the third bay, while the rest of the windows are 20th-century fixed types, except for a canted bay window at the right end on the ground floor. There are ridge and right end stacks.

Inside the 18th-century section, there is an open string staircase with square balusters and carved treads. The sitting room features a six-fielded-panel door in a moulded architrave and a fine cast iron hob grate in the fireplace, which has ribbed friezes and a dentillated cornice. The landing has a moulded plaster ceiling.
