Yaxley Hall is a bracketed entry in the book, so it was not in the first edition.  It is described as a composite picture and a three-bay range.  However, in the photograph below, the two wings on the right of the brick section were once replicated on the left hand side: they burnt down in 1922.  Furthermore, the most right-hand wing dates from the 1500s so the original building was almost certainly E-plan with subsequent in-filling.

There is an interesting history which can be found by visiting through the excellent “Invitation to View” scheme.  The house is not easily accessible to the casual visitor but it is available for weddings. 

Permission to photograph was given.

There is a former Gild Hall in Yaxley not listed in Pevsner and a photograph can be found in Not in Pevsner.
