Haxby Hall was an English house on York Road in Haxby, York. It was built in 1790 on 22 acres (89,000 m2) of land, and was grade II listed.[1]
In 1923, Haxby Hall was the residence of William Abel Wood, JP[2] During the Second World War, it was used to house evacuees from Hull.[3]
In 1950, the then owner, Kenneth Ward, donated the house's pleasure grounds to the village which now comprise the Ethel Ward Memorial Playing Field.[4] As of 2021, this contains a playground, tennis courts and a scout hall.[citation needed] It hosts village events and local football teams.[5]
The house, reduced to three acres (12,000 m2) of grounds, was demolished in 1960,[6] and replaced in 1965 by the 52 bed Haxby Hall Residential Care Home, and an adjoining ambulance station.[7][8]
