Gribton House

Gribton House is a circa 1830 two-storey mansion built in a Jacobean style, with later 19th-century additions and alterations. Originally built of red ashlar, the house features advanced and recessed bays, most with gables, gabletted skewbacks and shaped skewputts. The windows are predominantly mullioned, with some being canted, transomed, hood-moulded, or located in projecting bays. The north elevation includes an oriel window above a square porch in a projecting bay, and a lower projecting bay added in the early 20th century, with stacks above clasping angle strips on the left bay. A two-storey service range stands to the right. The east elevation has two canted windows, while some mullions were removed from the south elevation. The house is topped with corniced stacks, mostly with octagonal flues, and a roof of graded slates.

The interior contains panelled doors within corniced doorcases, some marble chimney pieces (one incorporating a late 19th-century bronze panel), mostly simple plasterwork, and a staircase with twisted wooden balusters.

The house was temporarily used as a hospital and was probably built for Francis Maxwell, who purchased the Gribton estate in 1827. It is now sub-divided. The gatepiers and quadrant walls, likely dating to around 1885, are constructed of red (pink) sandstone ashlar. The main gatepiers are panelled and corniced, flanked by lower buttressing piers with console brackets, and topped with gadrooned urns. These urns detached at some point but were restored around 1990. The gatepiers bear the monogram 'HL', representing Henry Lamont, who owned the house from 1877 to 1910.
