Description:Walton Hall is an Italian style 19th-century country house near Eccleshall, Staffordshire which is occupied by a residential special school. It is a Grade II listed building

The house was built in about 1848 for Henry Killick (died 1874) who was High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1862.

It was later occupied by James Cadman DSC (1828-1947) a coal mining engineer, and brother of Baron Cadman James was High Sheriff in 1933 and Deputy Lieutenant.

The school which currently occupies the site utilises the main hall ground floor for post 16 classes. Upper floors are used for residence. The old coaching house is now known as the Cyril Jones Centre and meets the needs of more complex children. In the late 1960s early 1970s a day school was also built on the campus.
