Allerthorpe Hall

Allerthorpe Hall is a manor house dated 1608, constructed from red brick with some stone dressings, and features pantile and plain tile roofs. The building has two storeys and six bays, with the outer bays formed by circular towers. It rests on a shallow stone plinth. At the center, there is a full-height gabled porch, which has an outer opening with a 4-centred arch. The inner doorway features a carved wooden surround with the inscribed date and a studded 9-panel door with original ironwork. The outer bays contain 4-pane leaded casements, while the wide bay to the left of the door has a tripartite sash with glazing bars. The first bay to the right of the door has a sash with glazing bars, and the bay to the right of this has 2-light mullion windows. Above the door is an 8-pane side-sliding sash, and the other bays have similar windows to those below. The gable of the porch has stone coping and shaped kneelers, and there are dentilled eaves. The outer bays have conical roofs, while the central four bays have a hipped roof with three lateral gabled ranges on the north side. At the rear of the front range are two large ridge stacks; the left one has four diagonally set shafts, and the right one has six similar shafts. The left return on the first floor features half-timbering with lath and plaster infill, a carved lower horizontal beam, and an original stone mullion window.

Inside, the ground floor contains two early 17th-century panelled rooms. Above one fireplace is a three-panel overmantel with Ionic pilasters flanking carved arches, supporting a frieze adorned with anthemion and acanthus motifs, topped with a cornice. The first floor has an early 17th-century panelled room with a similar overmantel to that on the ground floor, consisting of two panels.

Historically, in 1550, Sir Thomas Lascelles, Knight, conveyed the manor to William Robinson, an Alderman of the City of York. The property remained in the Robinson family until quite recently.
