Weston Hall, 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. It may contain a medieval core, with a "Weston Hall" being mentioned in 1378. However, it was largely rebuilt during the reign of Elizabeth I, of which period it retains most external features. There is also a notable Tudor or Jacobean banqueting house, called the Banqueting Hall, built for Sir Mager Vavasour, which is Grade I listed. It is 3 storeys high and has a stair turret with a gazebo at the top. There is a 16th century or earlier tithe barn to the South of the house, which is Grade II* listed. The Hall and Banqueting Hall were formerly Grade II* listed, but were upgraded.
