Reighton Hall

Reighton Hall is a house built between 1730 and 1740, which was remodeled around 1810 for Sir William Strickland, likely by architect Thomas Cundy. The building features a two-storey, six-bay front, with the entrance bay slightly projecting. This entrance contains a part-glazed and panelled door set beneath a Doric bowed porch that has a modillion cornice. The windows are 12-pane sashes with stone sills and wedge lintels, and there is a modillion eaves cornice along the roofline. At the rear, there is a round-headed, radial glazed staircase window located to the right of the center, while a canted bay at the far right is a 20th-century addition. The house has end and center stacks.

Inside, the ground floor main rooms and the first-floor room to the right retain 19th-century doorcases, panelling, and ceiling moulding. There are three 18th-century chimney pieces by Henry Cheere, which have been reset in the same rooms. The open-string, geometrical staircase features stick balusters, shaped cheekpieces, and a moulded, wreathed handrail. Sir William Strickland was the brother of Henry E. Strickland, who published "Agriculture of the East Riding of Yorkshire" in 1812. Hugh E. Strickland, a geologist and naturalist, was born here in 1811.
