Farnley Hall, Grade II listed house in Farnley, Leeds, England

The southern facade of Farnley Hall features seven windows across two floors, with a central portico supported by four Tuscan columns and a projecting pediment.

Built in 1586 by Sir Thomas Danby, Farnley Hall underwent substantial modifications in 1806, incorporating elements from both the Elizabethan and Georgian architectural periods.

The hall maintains connections to Thomas Danby, the first Mayor of Leeds, whose legacy continues through the Thomas Danby College named in his recognition.

Located within Farnley Hall Park, the building now serves as the headquarters for Leeds City Council's Parks and Countryside Service department.

The rear wing contains an archway with a weathered stone panel displaying the coat of arms of Sir Thomas Danby from the original sixteenth-century construction.
