Kneeton Hall

Kneeton Hall is a historic building in Middleton Tyas, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was constructed, probably in 1597, and a south wing was added in 1616. It is believed that the house originally had a private chapel, from which foundations may survive. The building was altered in the late 18th century, from which period much of the interior dates. The building later became a farmhouse. In the 20th century, the coach house was converted into a garage. The building was grade II listed in 1951, along with an attached outbuilding to the north. The farmhouse and outbuilding are built of stone with a pantile roof, shaped kneelers and stone coping. The farmhouse has two storeys and attics, a main range of five bays, a rear wing, and a cross-wing on the left. On the right of the main block are quoins, and in the centre is a doorway with a moulded architrave, a fanlight, a pulvinated frieze and a cornice, and the windows are sashes in architraves. The cross-wing contains two mullioned windows and one mullioned and transomed window, and there are more mullioned windows at the rear and in the rear wing. To the right is a lower outbuilding with two storeys, containing a coach house doorway with a quoined surround and a segmental-pointed arch, a doorway in an architrave, and shuttered openings with chamfered surrounds in the upper floor. Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase.
