Worton Hall

Worton Hall is a house dated 1600, built for Anthony Besson, the founder of Yorebridge Grammar School and an attorney of the Star Chamber. The building is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and features a 2-cell end-entry design with an added two-storey porch. It stands two storeys high and has three first-floor windows to one window on the ground floor. The structure includes quoins and mullion windows.

On the ground floor, there is a three-light window with ovolo moulding on the chamfer and a hoodmould, alongside a six-light double-chamfered window with ovolo moulding and hoodmould. The first floor features hollow-chamfered windows with four, three, and three lights. A central corniced stack is present. The porch, which is set back from the main line of the house, has a board door in a chamfered quoined surround with a slab lintel, and above it, a three-light chamfered-mullion window with a hoodmould.

Inside the porch, there is an end entry doorway with a board door in an ashlar chamfered surround and a lintel inscribed "ANNO DOMINE 1600 A.B.". In the right-hand ground-floor room, there is a segmental arch made of two richly-moulded orders, which may be part of a fireplace-and-doorway group or a triple fireplace group.
