Turnham Hall is a historic building in Cliffe, a village near Selby in North Yorkshire, in England.

The original Turnham Hall may well have been built by Robert de Turnham, in the reign of Richard I of England. [1] A licence to crenellate was received by John Pylkyngton in 1477. [2] It was a timber-framed building, and in the 15th century it was recorded as consisting of a hall with two chambers, a kitchen, brewhouse, a chapel, and several smaller rooms. It was surrounded by a moat which was visible until the early 19th century. It was rebuilt in about 1600, and again between 1796 and 1802. [1] It was greatly extended in about 1820, with the older section becoming the service wing, and was altered in the 20th century. The building was Grade II listed in 1998. [3]

The house is built of brick. It has two storeys and three bays, a hipped slate roof, and a wooden cornice with paired eaves brackets. The central doorway has moulded pilasters, a fanlight and a flat hood on brackets, and above it is a re-set datestone. It is flanked by canted bay windows, and in the upper floor are sash windows. The service wing to the right has two storeys, a pantile roof and sash windows, and the southwest front is rendered. [3]

[4] An agricultural warehouse is also built of brick, with dentilled eaves, and a pantile roof with stone coped gables and kneelers.
