Dallington Hall

Dallington Hall is a substantial country house built between 1720 and 1730 for Sir Joseph Jekyll, who held the position of Master of the Rolls. Constructed in ashlar stone, the house features a symmetrical design. The roof is tiled, hidden behind a low parapet and cornice. The building has two main floors, a basement, and attics.

The front façade, intended as the entrance front, is characterized by Doric pilasters at each end, topped by entablatures featuring triglyphs and guttae. It has five sash windows with glazing bars, each framed by an eared architrave with a keystone. Three gabled dormers punctuate the roofline. The central doorway, accessed by a flight of steps, has an eight-panelled door and a rectangular fanlight, all set within an architrave and topped by a pediment supported by consoles.

The garden front is similar in design to the entrance front but incorporates seven windows. The central three windows on the first floor are arranged within a round-headed archway, flanked by tall pilasters. A pedimented doorway also sits centrally on this front.

Inside, a panelled staircase well features close string stairs with twisted turned balusters and carved spandrels.

Dallington Hall is situated within a group that includes the former stables and barn.
