List of hall houses in England

List of hall houses in England is divided by the current ceremonial counties, rather than by historic counties, and listed in alphabetical order by county and then by name of the building. For Sussex, see either East Sussex or West Sussex; for Yorkshire see either East Riding of Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire or West Yorkshire.

The hall house is a type of vernacular house traditional in many parts of England, Wales, Ireland and lowland Scotland, as well as northern Europe, during the Middle Ages, centring on a hall. Usually timber-framed, some high status examples were built in stone. Most, but not all, were built for domestic use.

Unaltered hall houses are almost unknown. Where they have survived, they have almost always been significantly changed and extended by successive owners over the generations. This list includes examples that have been significantly altered or added to, but that originated as hall houses or were hall houses in an early part of their history.
