Langton Hall is a historic building in Langton, North Yorkshire, a village in England.
The hall was originally constructed in 1738, with the south wing added in about 1840.[1] It was the home of the Norcliffe family, including Isabella Norcliffe, the partner of Anne Lister. The hall was commandeered during World War II and was used as a base for the Guards Armoured Division. In 1946, Woodleigh School moved into the hall.[2][3] A school building was added to the left end of the hall. The hall was grade II listed in 1951.[1]
The school closed in 2012, and the hall was disused until 2019, when it was converted into an 11-bedroom house, a six-bedroom holiday let in the north wing, and four holiday cottages in the former servants' accommodation. It has 20 acres of grounds, including a waterfall.[2] Part of the television series Gentleman Jack, based on Lister's life, was filmed at the hall.[4]
The house is built of limestone, sandstone and white brick, with roofs of pantile and Westmorland slate. There are two storeys, a main range with five bays, and a slightly recessed three-bay wing on the left. On the front of the main range is a porch, now enclosed, with square pilasters, and a doorway with a fanlight. In the north wing is a doorway with a lintel and a dated and initialled keystone. The windows are sashes, some horizontally-sliding. Inside, there is a wrought iron staircase.[1][5]
