Location of Weston Hall in North Yorkshire

Weston Hall is a country house and Grade I listed building in Weston, North Yorkshire, England. [1]

History and architecture

The house has been in the Vavasour, (Dawson after 1833) family, since the 14th century. [2] It may contain a medieval core, with a "Weston Hall" being mentioned in 1378. [3] However, it was largely rebuilt during the reign of Elizabeth I, of which period it retains most external features. [3]

There is also a notable Tudor or Jacobean banqueting house, called the Banqueting Hall, built for Sir Mager Vavasour, which is Grade I listed. [4] It is 3 storeys high and has a stair turret with a gazebo at the top. [3] There is a 16th century or earlier tithe barn to the South of the house, [3] which is Grade II* listed. [5]

The Hall and Banqueting Hall were formerly Grade II* listed, [3] but were upgraded. [1] [4]
