Glendon Hall

Glendon Hall is a mansion, now divided into four dwellings, dating to the 17th and mid-18th centuries, and incorporating a reused porch from the mid to late 16th century. The exterior is a mix of limestone ashlar and ironstone, with the 17th-century part partially rendered, and the 18th-century section constructed of brick with stone dressings. The roofs are hipped and covered in Collyweston stone slates, with numerous moulded stone stacks.

The north front of the 17th-century section features a four-light stone mullioned window on the ground floor, followed by a two-storey canted bay window, then a short two-light window, and two further two-light mullion-and-transom windows. A Tudor-style doorway is also present. The first floor has two four-light mullion-and-transom windows and a single-light window, likely truncated with a transom. The rear of this section includes a later two-storey canted bay window and two two-storey semi-circular bay windows. The interior of the 17th-century part features late 19th-century Jacobean style details, along with some reset 16th-century Flemish glass, possibly from the demolished church at Glendon.

The mid-18th-century part of the mansion is taller and composed of five bays. The central three bays project slightly to the north, beneath a pediment within a parapet. A raised band divides the ground and first floors, and there is a prominent cornice. The ground and first floors here feature six-over-six sash windows, with two three-over-three sash windows to the attic. The windows have gauged stone heads. A central two-storey porch, originally from Pytchley Hall (demolished in 1824), provides access, featuring double six-panel doors with an overlight within a round-headed entrance arch, flanked by fluted Doric columns carrying an entablature with triple-leaf motifs and rosettes to the frieze. Above this, two two-light ovolo-moulded mullion-and-transom windows are flanked by Ionic columns supporting an entablature and a balustrade. The rear of this porch section mirrors the front with sash windows and includes two tripartite sash windows divided by columns and each topped with a small pediment, flanking a 20th-century ground floor door. A canted rear left angle is also present.

Inside the 18th-century section, a cantilevered circular staircase has a scrolled iron balustrade and a lantern. A decorative frieze adorns the stairwell. A right-hand ground floor room is fully panelled, with quarter-round mouldings to the panels, broken pediments to doorways, and recesses to blind windows. Six-panel doors are present throughout. The room above is also fully panelled, with bolection-moulded panelling. It contains a plain marble fireplace of lugged form.
