Colburn Hall is a historic building in Colburn, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The oldest part of the complex is a hall with an undercroft, now known as the courthouse, which was constructed in about 1300. About 50 years later, another two-storey block was constructed; this now forms the cross-wing of the hall. It is possible that the two structures were linked by a central range, probably built of timber; or alternatively, that they were separate but associated buildings. If a central range did exist, it was demolished before 1718, the date of a surviving sketch showing the current arrangement. In 1662, a new range was added to the west cross-wing, which was thereafter used as the new Colburn Hall, by the D'Arcy family. It was later used as a farmhouse, and was Grade II* listed in 1951. The courthouse had its roof rebuilt, and a barn was built onto it. The building itself was later used as a barn, with the ground floor used for stabling by the 19th century. The courthouse was Grade I listed in 1969. It was added to the Heritage at Risk register in 2000, at which time it was disused, but it was restored in 2010. The hall is built of stone, with quoins, and a stone slate roof with stone copings, shaped kneelers, and finials. It has two storeys, and a T-shaped plan, with a front range of four bays, and a rear outshut. The doorway has a slightly chamfered surround and a hood mould, above which is a carved coat of arms. The windows vary, and include sashes and casements, some with mullions. Inside, there is an 18th-century stone surround for a range. The courthouse is also built of stone, with quoins, and a pantile roof with stone slates at the eaves, raised verges with moulded coping, and finials. There are two storeys, consisting of a first-floor hall and an undercroft, and five bays. It contains doorways and windows of various types, and retains an early fireplace in the east wall of the upper floor.

St Trinian's Hall
St Trinian's Hall

St Trinian's Hall is a historic building in Easby, a village near Richmond, North Yorkshire, in England. In the mediaeval period, there was a monastic grange on the site, associated with Easby Abbey. The name "St Trinian" was associated with it by the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s, believed to be a reference to Saint Ninian. The current building dates from the early to mid 18th century, with wings added before 1785. The building was altered in 1906, and during the First World War, it was purchased by Everard Radcliffe, who lived there until his death in 1969. A local story claims that Radcliffe planted a copse of willows on the property, in order that they could be used in the manufacture of cricket bats for Yorkshire County Cricket Club. The building was grade II listed in 1969. In 2022, it was put up for sale, with a guide price of £2.5 million. At the time, the property included a reception hall, dining room, drawing room, sitting room, library, hobby room, kitchen, utility room and two cloakrooms on the ground floor, with six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a further sitting room on the upper floors. There was a cottage at the rear, and about 20 acres of gardens and parkland. The house is built of sandstone, with a red tile roof. It has two storeys and an L-shaped plan, with a main range of five bays, flanking two-bay wings, and a later rear wing on the right. The south front has a plinth, chamfered rusticated quoins, a cornice, and a parapet with ball finials on pedestals. In the centre is a Doric portico with three-quarter columns and a pediment. This is flanked by canted bay windows, and in the upper floor are sash windows in architraves. Inside, there is an early-18th century stone fireplace, and an early staircase in the rear wing.
