Forton Hall, 17th-century Grade II* listed house in Forton, England.

The residence features traditional architectural elements including a sandstone exterior, hipped slate roof, and decorative porch with columns marking the central entrance point.

Edwin Skrymsher of Norbury Manor constructed Forton Hall in 1665, as evidenced by the datestone displayed on the building's porch entrance.

The building's location next to Forton church with its Saxon font connects the hall to centuries of local religious and social development.

The hall maintains regular opening hours for visitors, with guided tours available through advance reservations at the property management office.

An alabaster tomb of Sir Thomas Skrymsher and his wife Anne rests outside the hall, marking the family's extended presence in the region.
