Description
The wall, stables, gates, and gatepiers at the entrance to Weston Hall date from the 13th century and are constructed from limestone ashlar. The gatepiers are square-rusticated with a moulded entablature and urn finials that have gadrooned bases, accompanied by 19th-century double iron gates. To the left, there is a short section of wall made from squared coursed limestone and ironstone with stone coping, which connects to the outbuildings from the 18th century, built with similar materials and featuring a slate roof and four bays of 9-pane sash windows with wooden lintels. The side of the wall facing the house has whitewashed brick arches of unequal width, two of which are blocked. The wall extends to the left with stone coping for approximately 20 meters and a higher section with tiled coping for about 30 meters. It continues around an angle beside Home Farmhouse, with the upper section rebuilt in brick. Inside the stables, there are original teak stalls. It is noted that Sir William Walton is said to have composed the oratorio "Belshazzar's Feast" in the harness room.
