Description
Fisher's Hall is a folly built in 1750 for William Aislabie. It is constructed from tufa rubble and ashlar, and is roofless, having formerly had a stone slate roof. The building has an octagonal plan and is one storey high. It features a pointed-arched doorway with Gothick pilasters and a moulded arch. Above the doorway is a tablet inscribed with "WA 1750". The other sides have pointed-arched window openings that still show the remains of wooden Y-tracery in the heads. There is a plain eaves band. The "WA" in the inscription refers to William Aislabie of Studley Royal, near Ripon, who designed Hackfall Wood in the mid-18th century in a Romantic style. The building is named Fisher's Hall after Aislabie's chief gardener who worked at Hackfall. At the time of the resurvey, it was derelict. Hackfall is listed on the North Yorkshire Historic Gardens Register as Grade I.
