Burton Latimer Hall

Burton Latimer Hall is an Elizabethan manor house in the village of Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire. It is a Grade I listed building. [1]

The Hall, probably of medieval origin, was remodelled and enlarged in the early 17th century. The west front dates from the mid-18th century and the south wing from 1872. It is built of coursed limestone rubble with an ashlar west front and a Collyweston stone slate roof. In plan it consists of a main block with two cross-wings and an additional wing to the south.

The manor of Burton Latimer, one of two Burton manors, belonged in earlier times to the Latimer family. After passing into the hands of the Bacon family the 17th-century refurbishment was carried out by Edmund Bacon c.1620. The Lordship was eventually bought in 1760 by John Harpur, who soon afterwards combined it with the other Burton manor. The Hall and its surrounding estate have belonged to the Harpur family ever since.

In the grounds stand a Grade II* listed dovecote and a Grade II listed stable block.

Adlington Hall Country house in Cheshire, England

Adlington Hall is a country house near Adlington, Cheshire. The oldest part of the existing building, the Great Hall, was constructed between 1480 and 1505; the east wing was added in 1581. The Legh family has lived in the hall and in previous buildings on the same site since the early 14th century. After the house was occupied by Parliamentary forces during the Civil War, changes were made to the north wing, including encasing the Great Hall in brick, inserting windows, and installing an organ in the Great Hall. In the 18th century the house was inherited by Charles Legh who organised a series of major changes. These included building a new west wing, which incorporated a ballroom, and a south wing with a large portico. It is possible that Charles Legh himself was the architect for these additions. He also played a large part in planning and designing the gardens, woodland and parkland, which included a number of buildings of various types, including a bridge known as the Chinese Bridge that carried a summerhouse.
