Background
History
The present Swithland Hall was built for George John Danvers-Butler, later Earl of Lanesborough. Designed by the architect James Pennethorne, and was finished by 1852.</blockquote> It is built of stuccoed and painted granite and slate rubble and brick, with Swithland slate roofs concealed by a parapet. It consists of a central block and two wings in a restrained neo-classical style with banded rustication to the ground floor. It has two storeys, with a sunken basement. The entrance front has one-storey porch with four paired fluted Doric columns up four stone steps. The house was Grade II listed in 1979.
