History and architecture
The house has been in the Vavasour (Dawson after 1833) family since the 14th century.[2] It may contain a medieval core, with a "Weston Hall" being mentioned in 1378.[3] However, it was largely rebuilt during the reign of Elizabeth I, of which period it retains most external features.[3]
There is also a notable Tudor or Jacobean banqueting house, called the Banqueting Hall, built for Sir Mager Vavasour, which is Grade I listed.[4] It is 3 storeys high and has a stair turret with a gazebo at the top.[3] There is a 16th century or earlier tithe barn to the South of the house,[3] which is Grade II* listed.[5]
The Hall and Banqueting Hall were formerly Grade II* listed,[3] but were upgraded.[1][4]
