Killington Hall

A house, dating from the 15th century, with alterations and additions made in 1640 and 1803. It is constructed of stone rubble with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. A ruined peel tower is located at the south end.

The east facade is two stories high with an attic and consists of four bays. The first bay forms a tower projecting forward under a corbelled parapet; the second bay also projects forward. The tower’s ground floor has a four-light double-chamfered-mullioned window with cusped heads and a label mould. A similar three-light window is located on the first floor of the tower. The second bay’s ground floor features a sash window with glazing bars and leaded glazing, under a label mould. A projecting recess to the left of this window is of unknown purpose. The fourth bay of the ground floor has an ogee-headed window with a scrolled pediment and small-paned leaded glazing. The first floor has single-chamfered-mullioned windows with label moulds and leaded glazing, arranged as 3:4:4:2 lights. Gable-end stacks have round shafts. Dormers with three-light windows, the central lights raised, and leaded glazing are present above the second and third bays. A datestone above one of these windows reads "RI/TK/1640/LK" (Kitson).

The south return displays an embattled parapet and a single-light window and a two-light window with a hollow-chamfered mullion on the first floor. The north return includes a later lean-to outshut with a corrugated iron roof and small lights with chamfered openings. The rear of the property has a projecting truncated lateral stack. Ground floor windows are casement windows, with one sash window having vertical glazing bars and an entrance to a former stack. The first floor features two single-chamfered-mullioned windows of 3 and 2 lights, a blocked opening, and a sash window. The tower has partially collapsed, and the interior of the tower lacks a floor or roof. Other interior features include a small inserted outhouse, a blocked fireplace, and corbels on the north side. The interior of the house contains a chamfered beam with a corbelled brace to one end. There is some 17th-century panelling with moulding to three sides, and further panelling is also on the first floor. The house is said to have a priest's hiding place and is associated with recusant connections.
