Aldborough Hall

Historic building in Aldborough, North Yorkshire, England


Aldborough Hall is a historic building in Aldborough, North Yorkshire, a village in England.

The hall was probably built in the early 17th century. A wing was added to the north in the Victorian period, but was later demolished. The building was Grade II* listed in 1952.[1] It was put up for sale in 1999 for £950,000, at which time, it had seven bedrooms, five reception rooms, four bathrooms and two kitchens, with a tennis court in the grounds.[2]

The three-storey house is built of red brick, with stone dressings, quoins, and a Welsh slate roof. There are twin gables on the front and rear, and a full-height gabled bay projecting from the centre on three sides. On the west side is a three-storey canted bay window with an embattled parapet. The windows are mullioned and transomed.[1]

Inside the house are several fittings brought from elsewhere: a late medieval fireplace, a Jacobean staircase from Lymore, and panelling from various locations, most notably Ashley Park.[1]
