Kirk Deighton Hall

Kirk Deighton Hall is a rectory that has been converted into a private house. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone mid-19th century alterations, including the addition of a third storey. The building is constructed of coursed limestone and gritstone, topped with a purple slate roof. It features a plinth and rusticated quoins, and has three storeys with five bays arranged in a 2:1:2 pattern.

The central entrance consists of glazed double doors set beneath a closed porch supported by Tuscan columns, with a deep entablature and cornice above. All windows have flush wood architraves, projecting sills, and incised lintels. The ground floor windows are 4-pane sashes, the first floor features sashes with glazing bars, and the second floor has 9-pane unevenly-hung sashes. The building is capped with a shallow blocking course that has moulded coping and a projecting band at the eaves level, and it has a hipped roof. There are banded end stacks, with a stone stack on the left and a white brick stack on the right.

Attached to the right is a two-bay single-storey range that is not of special interest. Although the interior was not inspected during the resurvey, it is reported to contain a fine original staircase. The rear wing, which is now a separate house, features keyed lintels on the windows and has undergone 20th-century alterations.

Historically, in 1794, Colonel Thornton sold the patronage of the living to Rev. James Geldart, who became the rector in 1795 and was succeeded by his son and grandson. The nearby church was extensively rebuilt in 1849, and these dates may indicate the period during which the rectory was constructed.
