Pevsner - monument to the Haddon children, 1717. They lie in bed in a stone four-poster with four alternatingly rusticated pillars, well tucked in under a Durham quilt. Monument on the English Heritage Register of Buildings at Risk 2007, priority D - slow decay; solution agreed but not yet implemented. Heritage At Risk 2008, priority C (slow decay, no solution agreed), condition poor. The tomb has settled unevenly and the iron cramping of the masonry is causing instability of the stone canopy. Listed on English Heritage's Heritage At Risk Register 2009. Condition: poor. Priority: D (slow decay, solution agreed but not yet implemented). A study of the ground conditions will be completed in 2009 and inform a full repair scheme. No longer on Heritage At Risk Register.

The hall was built c.1730 and was a village mansion on the site of an earlier farmstead by the coal owning Russell family of Brancepeth. Pevsner described Heworth Hall as 'an uncommonly good house of c.1700 with a late 18th century back'. The south front of the hall faced a long landscaped garden planted with fine trees. A lodge was located at the northern entrance that had high wrought iron gates where a drive led to the house. A servants' quarters was located in the east wing of the hall, a stables and a kitchen garden were on the south east, one wall of which still remains. In 1872 the hall became the residence of Samuel Meynell, owner of the Imeary's Chemical Works at Heworth Shore. In the 1890s the lodge was demolished to make further room for the railway - this also truncated a large portion of the land to the north of the hall. By the end of 1918 the hall was empty and in disrepair. The Rev. Charles Gwilliam of St Mary's Church purchased the hall to use as the Heworth War Memorial Hall for parish activities. The scheme cost c.£5500. After the death of the vicar and escalating costs the hall again fell into disrepair in the late 1920s until the Heworth Conservative Club bought it in 1930. The interior was then altered. A beam was found during the works inscribed with the date 1699 - probably belonging to the earlier farmstead. The building was recorded in late 2010 by NPA Ltd. ahead of its conversion to an office
