Weston Hall, Weston under Penyard

 
Most of Weston Hall at Weston under Penyard, Herefordshire, is said to date from around 1600, though it has been suggested it is a later build of c.1650. The arms of the Nourse family and the symmetrical plan, mullioned windows, characteristic doorways, drip moulds and finials all point to the seventeenth century. There are later additions of the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, with the most recent structure (dated 2000) a circular, ornamental gazebo with a tall ogee top. This photograph, that shows one of the formal gardens, was taken through a gate in the roadside wall.
