Wrelton Hall

Wrelton Hall is a hall dating from the mid-18th century, likely incorporating an earlier house. It was altered, extended, and had its roof raised in the early 19th century, with further alterations and extensions around 1920. The front and right side are constructed of roughly-dressed limestone, while the remaining elevations are of coursed limestone rubble. Later extensions are in dressed limestone, and rear extensions are of red and variegated brick in English garden wall bond. The main house has a slate roof, while outbuildings feature pantile roofs. Brick stacks are present, some of which have been rebuilt.

Originally a two-cell, gable-entry plan house, it was extended to the left, with an outbuilding added, and a wing and further extensions at the rear. The hall is two storeys and an attic, with four windows on the front, and includes a single-storey outbuilding set back on the left. The front door has six beaded, raised panels, a patterned overlight, and pilaster jambs, set within a Doric porch. A sash window sits to the left, beneath a timber lintel. French doors with an overlight are located at the end of the left elevation, beneath a keyed tripartite lintel. A bullseye window, set in a keyed brick surround and beneath a corbelled floating cornice, is flanked by two five-window canted bays. First-floor windows are two-light casements with stone sills and keyed tripartite lintels. Twentieth-century flat-roofed dormers with casements are present. All windows have leaded lights. A cavetto-moulded eaves cornice runs around the building. There are coped gables and shaped kneelers. End stacks are visible, and three are evenly spaced along the ridge; two are now truncated.

The outbuilding has a four-panel door to the right of a small four-pane fixed light, both with timber lintels. The right return elevation features two segment-arched fixed windows with small-pane glazing, stone sills, and keyed archivolts of shaped voussoirs. Above them are two-light, 12-pane horizontal-sliding sashes with timber lintels on the first and attic floors. A two-storey, two-window wing is situated at the rear. It has a centre door of six flush panels and 16-pane sashes with stone sills, all with tooled lintels. A coped gable and kneeers are present to the right, along with end stacks.

Inside, a ground-floor room on the left features a good 1920s panelled inglenook fireplace with settles on each side and a diamond-paned fire window. A reused, original Gothick-glazed door is located behind the stairs.
