Weston Hall is a country house and Grade I listed building in Weston, North Yorkshire, England. ^[1]

History and architecture

The house has been in the Vavasour, (Dawson after 1833) family, since the 14th century. ^[2] It may contain a medieval core, with a "Weston Hall" being mentioned in 1378. ^[3] However, it was largely rebuilt during the reign of Elizabeth I, of which period it retains most external features. ^[3]

There is also a notable Tudor or Jacobean banqueting house, called the Banqueting Hall, built for Sir Mager Vavasour, which is Grade I listed. ^[4] It is 3 storeys high and has a stair turret with a gazebo at the top. ^[3] There is a 16th century or earlier tithe barn to the South of the house, ^[3] which is Grade II* listed. ^[5]

The Hall and Banqueting Hall were formerly Grade II* listed, ^[3] but were upgraded. ^{[1] [4]}
