Purey-Cust Lodge boundary wall is an historic structure in the English city of York, North Yorkshire. A Grade II listed building, it dates to 1845. [1]
Originally the lodge, walls and gateways to the stone yard of York Minster, since around 1916 it has functioned as the entrance and boundary wall of Purey-Cust Lodge. [1]
The height of the wall varies from around 6 metres (20 ft) in its main section, up to around 8.5 metres (28 ft) at the rear of the lodge and down to around 4.5 metres (15 ft) for the section that runs along Precentor's Court. [1]
There are three gates, two of which feature nail-studded boarded gates; the third is an iron gate providing access to lodge's driveway. This gate is flanked by the coats of arms of St Peter and the Deanery of York. [1]
To the right of the iron gate, the wall is habitable. It features windows, at two levels, of single or paired square-headed lights with diamond lattice glazing. On the garden side, the lodge is of two low storeys. The ground-floor windows include one- and two-light small- and large-pane casements, as well as a 2x2 and a 2x6-pane Yorkshire sash. On the first floor, there are three 2x2s. The interior of the walls has not been inspected. [1]
Per Historic England, the wall is composed of orange-brown and orange-grey brick "in various bonds", as well as magnesian limestone ashlar. The pent pantile roof has brick stacks. The side of the wall facing Precentor's Court is rendered and incised, while the interior side is orange brick in an English garden-wall bond. The copings are moulded stone or pantile. [1]

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.

Adlington Hall is a country house near Adlington, Cheshire. The oldest part of the existing building, the Great Hall, was constructed between 1480 and 1505; the east wing was added in 1581. The Legh family has lived in the hall and in previous buildings on the same site since the early 14th century. After the house was occupied by Parliamentary forces during the Civil War, changes were made to the north wing, including encasing the Great Hall in brick, inserting windows, and installing an organ in the Great Hall. In the 18th century the house was inherited by Charles Legh who organised a series of major changes. These included building a new west wing, which incorporated a ballroom, and a south wing with a large portico. It is possible that Charles Legh himself was the architect for these additions. He also played a large part in planning and designing the gardens, woodland and parkland, which included a number of buildings of various types, including a bridge known as the Chinese Bridge that carried a summerhouse.
