Description
Rigmaden Hall is a house dating to 1825 and later, designed by Francis Webster for Christopher Wilson. The main wing is constructed of ashlar, while the service wing is of roughcast stone rubble. The main wing has two storeys and a 3x5 bay arrangement; the service wing to the north has four bays, and a later billiard room wing extends to the northwest with a 3x3 bay layout.
The east facade of the main wing is characterized by a semi-circular central bay with three windows on each floor. Features include giant angle pilasters, a first-floor sill band, a top frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course. Ground floor windows in the central bay have eared architraves, friezes, and cornices, while the outer bays have tripartite windows with angle colonnettes, entablatures, and pediments. The central first-floor window is blind, styled like a sash. The south return has end bays projecting forward with architraves under a frieze, interrupted by recessed lintels. Ground floor windows in the end bays mirror the design of the central bay; those between them open onto a short flight of steps. The first-floor windows in the end bays have panelled sills and jambs, while those between have a sill band. The west facade also features projecting end bays with angle pilasters. A large porte cochere has paired antae, an entablature, and a blocking course. The entrance is flanked by lights, and has an architrave and cornice. Some remaining ashlar stacks retain cornices.
The service wing has simpler details. On the east side, the end bay projects under a gable, and to the west, two bays project by one bay with a second storey. The billiard room wing incorporates angle pilasters, a frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course. The ground floor windows of the west facade have architraves, friezes, and cornices. The south return has an entrance with an architrave and an armorial bearing above. The north return is roughcast and has plain windows, with one retaining small-paned iron fixed glazing and some remains of painted glass.
