Knights Stainforth Hall and Knights Cottage

Knight's Stainforth Hall and Knight's Cottage is a former manor house, now functioning as a house and cottage, dated 1672. The building features slobbered rubble brought to course, stone dressings, and a stone slate roof. It is three storeys high with six bays. The central entrance is framed by double quirked bead moulding and a large plain lintel, with a 20th-century door. Above the entrance is a sundial, dated 1724, though the gnomon is missing.

On the ground floor, there are six chamfered windows; bay 1 has a cross window with cavetto mullions, transoms, and a hoodmould, while the other windows were originally similar but now lack their mullions and transoms. Bay 2 has been lowered to create a 20th-century entrance with glazed doors, and bay 4 has lost its jambs. A continuous hoodmould runs over the entrance and the flanking windows. The first floor has chamfered cross windows with cavetto mullions and transoms, except for bays 3 and 6, which have lost their features, and bay 4 is now blocked. There is also a narrow single-light transomed window between bays 3 and 4 that is blocked. The second floor has five 2-light chamfered windows with cavetto mullions, all fitted with 20th-century casements. The building has moulded eaves modillions, gable end ridge stacks, and a ridge stack between bays 2 and 3.

The left-hand return features a near-symmetrical facade of three storeys and six bays. The two outer bays on each side are gabled and contain slightly projecting gable-end stacks supported by two corbels at the level of the first-floor window heads. There is a small datestone above the hoodmould of the ground floor window in bay 5. A projecting central wing on the right side of the rear contains the entrance to Knight's Cottage, which has a chamfered surround and a pointed arched head.

Historically, the hall was the home of Samuel Watson, an early Quaker who was granted a licence to worship in the hall under the 1689 Toleration Act.
