Boynton Hall, Grade I listed house in Boynton, England.
Boynton Hall is a Grade I listed manor house in the village of Boynton in East Yorkshire, England. The building has a red brick facade with a symmetrical seven-bay front, stone detailing, and a polygonal bay that runs through all floors.
The manor was built in the late 1500s as a Tudor house with an H-shaped floor plan. In the early 1700s it was significantly rebuilt, gaining an extra floor and a new slate roof, with architect John Carr involved in later work.
The name Boynton Hall comes from the family that lived here for many generations, leaving a clear mark on the estate. Visitors approaching the building can see how the layout and the exterior details reflect the tastes of people who considered this place their permanent home.
The hall sits in a rural area that is most easily reached by private car, as public transport connections to the village are limited. The interior is not regularly open to the public, so it is worth checking in advance whether any events or guided openings are planned.
The interior contains two fireplaces attributed to William Kent, one of the leading English designers of the 1700s. The staircase from the same period has twisted balusters and a finely molded handrail that show the level of craft that went into private commissions of that time.
