Kilnwick Old Hall is a historic building off Wilfholme Road in Kilnwick-on-the-Wolds, a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The country house was built in the early 17th century, and was partly reconstructed in the 1720s. In 1747, it was purchased by John Grimston, who undertook further work, then his son, also John, commissioned John Carr to undertake further alterations. This included adding a rear range to the east wing, the replacement of the roofs, the addition of a bay window, and internal plasterwork by Giuseppe Cortese. In the 1780s, Carr redesigned the library. The bulk of the building was demolished in 1951, with the surviving range consisting of former offices. It was Grade II listed in 1968.[1][2][3]
The surviving building is constructed of red brick on a moulded plinth, with a dentilled eaves cornice, and hipped stone slate roofs. There are two storeys and attics, and an L-shaped plan, consisting of a south wing of five bays, and an east wing of four bays. The doorways have four-centred arches, and the windows are a mix of mullioned cross windows, casements and sashes, some horizontally sliding. Inside, one first floor room has early plasterwork on its ceiling, while two rooms have early 18th-century panelling.[3][4]
The well head, gatepiers, and ha‑ha associated with Kilwick Old Hall are each also listed separately at Grade II.[5][6][7]
