{{Short description|Building in North Yorkshire, England}} {{Use dmy dates|date=May 2026}} {{Use British English|date=May 2026}} thumb|right|The building, in 2014 '''Whixley Hall''' is a historic building in Whixley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The house may have been built in 1654; there is a datestone with this date, but it has been moved. Christopher Tancred died in 1754, and under the terms of his will, the building was converted into an almshouse for 12 elderly men. This operated until the mid 19th century. In 1907, Walter Brierley rebuilt the central section of the south front, in a similar style to its original form. The building was grade II listed in 1952.<ref name="nhle">{{NHLE |num=1149939|desc=Whixley Hall, Whixley|access-date=9 April 2026}}</ref> By 2025, it was a private house with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and 54 acres of grounds.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Elwes |first1=Annunciata |title=A 17th century country house estate for sale in Yorkshire that's not too big and not too small |url=https://www.countrylife.co.uk/property/northern-england-property-for-sale/a-17th-century-country-house-estate-for-sale-in-yorkshire-thats-not-too-big-and-not-too-small |access-date=2 May 2026 |work=Country Life |date=10 February 2025}}</ref>
