Heslington Hall, Grade II* listed manor house in Heslington, England

Heslington Hall features a symmetrical Victorian Jacobethan design with two staircase towers and a courtyard surrounding a pendant stucco ceiling great hall.

The original structure, built between 1565 and 1568 for Sir Thomas Eynns, Secretary of the Council of the North, underwent major reconstruction in 1854.

The building integrates educational functions as the administrative center of the University of York since 1963, hosting academic gatherings and research activities.

The hall contains university administrative offices and meeting spaces, with surrounding gardens that include mature yew trees and an enclosed Garden Room.

During World War II, the hall served as headquarters for No. 4 Group RAF Bomber Command before transitioning to its current educational purpose.
