Kettlethorpe Hall, Georgian manor house in Wakefield, England

The two-storey stone structure features Doric columns and displays a combination of red brick construction with limestone rubble and ashlar dressings.

Built in 1727 by the Pilkington family, the hall incorporates masonry from previous structures and stands on the site of a medieval manor house.

The hall contains an 18th-century paneled dining room, Victorian architectural elements, and a drawing room with an ornate stucco ceiling from the 1700s.

The Yorkshire Preservation Trust divided the building into two separate houses in 1988, while Wakefield Council maintains the surrounding grounds.

In 1847, builders attached the façade of a 14th-century Chantry Chapel from Wakefield Bridge to a boathouse beside an artificial lake.
