Fitzhall

Fitzhall is a house that consists of two parallel ranges. The north range originates from the 18th century rebuildings of Fitzhall and features two storeys with four windows. It is constructed of ashlar set in galletting, with red brick used for the window dressings, quoins, stringcourse, and the top of the parapet. The roof is tiled, and the glazing bars remain intact. A porch was added in 1932 in a Georgian style, which includes engaged Doric columns, a triglyph frieze, a curved pediment, and double doors with six panels. Inside, the library located in the north-west corner contains early 19th-century book recesses. The south wing was also added in 1932, built on the site of some remains of the Elizabethan house, which primarily served as service quarters. The first house on this site was constructed by Christopher Bettesworth during the reign of Elizabeth I. It was largely rebuilt by James Piggot, who died in 1780, and the last remaining portion of this earlier structure was demolished in 1932.
