Grantham House

Grantham House was originally a country residence but with time it was gradually surrounded by the town of Grantham. Dating from 1380, the house has been extensively altered over the years and presents an attractive mixture of styles. Grantham House contains a number of architectural features from various eras.

From the 15th to the 17th centuries the house was the home of the wealthy Hall family. They were wool merchants of the Staple of Calais and for some time the house was known as Hall Place. Most of the building seen today dates from the 16th - 18th centuries. The 16th century mullioned windows that look out over the church and entrance front to the north, were inserted by the Hall family.

The 27 acres of tranquil garden slope down to the willow-fringed river Witham. Approached by the footpath along the river, Grantham House still has the appearance of the country house it once was.
