Tong Hall still commands a fine open prospect over gently falling grounds to the west-north-west and is approached from Tong Lane by a short formal drive terminating in a circular carriage sweep in front of the principal south entrance.
The Stable Court, including the Home Farm, lies discreetly at a slightly lower level to the west of the house. Associated with the Tempest family since the C15/C16, Tong Hall was rebuilt by Sir George Tempest in 1702, and is the only house of any consequence in the Bradford area to be built of brick (in part no doubt because of the proximity to Leeds).
The architect who introduced this modern fashionable material was Theophilus Shelton, Lawyer and gentleman architect, resident at Heath Hall, outside Wakefield and the designer of The Butter Cross at Beverley. As completed by Shelton the house consisted ofa symmetrical block of 3-storey centre with 2-storey wings with a low ashlar
basement, a sophisticated elevation for 1702.
In 1773 the house was enlarged, the architect apparently being one John Platt. He heightened the wings to 3-storeys and the centre received a blind attic and a pediment, probably theoriginal one reset. Canted bay windows were added to the north front and the interior underwent some redecoration.

Thank you, I used to live a few miles away and had generations of family in Tong but had never seen Tong Hall close up.

My family dates back to the 1500s in Tong.

[@stuartnicklin4101]

It may of had a tennis court or bowling green at the rear.
Ive built large houses across the road and never realised this lovely dwelling was there .
Great stuff 👍

[@BradfordThroughTheLens]

Interesting feedback and thanks for joining our little community.
No doubt, beautiful building.
Look out for our video in the future that will show you the internal part.

[@marymarshalls2984]

Thank you for this my ex Partner Sanjay took me to the Greyhound pub - which also looks like a very old building also the Six Acres at Tong very very interesting - I would have liked to have seen inside Tong Hall in particular the attic and cellars which I think are the most interesting in these properties.

[@BradfordThroughTheLens]

It's a shame, really . Lots of modernisation inside , but nevertheless Majestic building.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

[@nicholaswalker2494]

I'm not an expert but the remains could be a sunken garden 🤔

[@BradfordThroughTheLens]

Good point 👍

[@brianpamos49]

Food storage and laundry.

[@BradfordThroughTheLens]

[@deirdrejennings657]

[@marymarshalls2984]
