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

The building was constructed in the early 18th century. Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "looking competent and sensible". [1] Jean Burdon, who later ran a scheme for disabled riders, was born in the hall in 1924. [2] The house was Grade II* listed in 1966, along with its garden walls. [3] It was restored in the 2020s. [4]

The house is built of stone on a plinth, with chamfered quoins, a sill band, a moulded eaves band, and a hipped stone slate roof. There are three storeys, a symmetrical front of seven bays, and a three-storey rear wing. Three steps lead up to a central Doric porch with two pairs of columns on plinths, a fluted frieze, a cornice and blocking course, and a doorway with a fanlight. The windows are sashes with moulded architraves and keystones. On each side of the house is a brick quadrant wall with stone coping, ramped up at the end to stone piers with domed caps. In the centre of each wall is a doorway with a rusticated architrave and a double keystone. From the right-hand pier runs a high coped stone wall. [1] [3]

Inside the house is an entrance hall with a dado rail, and early doors to the rooms on each side. There is a large staircase with an open well, lit by a Venetian window with Ionic columns. The right-hand front room has early decoration include its overmantel, panelling, dado rail and cornice. [3]

Ince Blundell Hall is a former country house near the village of Ince Blundell, in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, Merseyside, England. It was built between 1720 and 1750 for Robert Blundell, the lord of the manor, and was designed by Henry Sephton, a local mason-architect. Robert's son, Henry, was a collector of paintings and antiquities, and he built impressive structures in the grounds of the hall in which to house them. In the 19th century the estate passed to the Weld family. Thomas Weld Blundell modernised and expanded the house, and built an adjoining chapel. In the 1960s the house and estate were sold again, and have since been run as a nursing home by the Canonesses of St. Augustine of the Mercy of Jesus.
