Ganton Hall

Last updated November 29, 2024

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

The manor house was purchased by John Legard in 1586, at which time it was described as "new builded, the walls of chalk-stone and covered with slate". The current country house was built slightly further south between 1866 and 1868, and the old house was demolished in 1870. In 1910, the house was sold to the Wrigley family. In the late 20th and early 21st century, it was the home of Phillida Wrigley and her husband, and more recently the owner has been Nicholas Wrigley. The house was grade II listed in 1992.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

The house is built of red brick on a chamfered plinth, with stone dressings, quoins, a narrow floor band, a moulded eaves band, and slate roofs with shaped gables. The windows throughout are sashes. There are two storeys and attics, and an H-shaped plan, and a lower service wing with one storey and an attic. The southeast front has five bays, a recessed centre flanked by two-storey canted bay window, and gabled dormers. The southwest front has three bays and contains a canted and a square two-storey bay window. The northwest entrance front has five irregular bays, and contains a porch with coupled Doric columns, an entablature, and a plain parapet. Inside, there is fine coving, a grand wooden staircase, and marble fireplaces, while the laundry has its original stove and drying shelves.^[1]^[2]

Capesthorne Hall is a country house near the village of Siddington, Cheshire, England. The house and its private chapel were built in the early 18th century, replacing an earlier hall and chapel nearby. They were built to Neoclassical designs by William Smith and (probably) his son Francis. Later in the 18th century, the house was extended by the addition of an orangery and a drawing room. In the 1830s the house was remodelled by Edward Blore; the work included the addition of an extension and a frontage in Jacobean style, and joining the central block to the service wings. In about 1837 the orangery was replaced by a large conservatory designed by Joseph Paxton. In 1861 the main part of the house was virtually destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt by Anthony Salvin, who generally followed Blore's designs but made modifications to the front, rebuilt the back of the house in Jacobean style, and altered the interior. There were further alterations later in the 19th century, including remodelling of the Saloon. During the Second World War the hall was used by the Red Cross, but subsequent deterioration prompted a restoration.

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.
