 This historic building dates back to the 17th century and had been owned by the Booths and Greys.
 The Grey family had the famous character, Lady Jane Grey who was Queen of England for 9 days and beheaded in 1554.

In 1976 the National Trust took over the running of the estate and the hall and gardens were opened to the public. Here are a few of the photos from around the Hall, Gardens and grounds.
