Farnhill Hall Explained

Map Type:North Yorkshire

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

The building was constructed in the 15th century, as a single-storey fortified manor house. It was altered in the 16th century, and again in the 19th century, while the rear windows and front door are from the early 20th century. The house was grade I listed in 1954.[1]

The house is built of stone with a slate roof, hipped on the right. In the centre is a two-storey block with four embattled turrets, one at each corner, which is flanked by wings. Above the doorway is a small gabled dormer with machicolations, and the windows include a surviving pair of lights with trefoil heads. Inside the house is a large fireplace, and woodwork by Robert Thompson.[2]
