[NT] Gunby Hall. Hall Entrance - a photo on Flickriver

I had a wonderful time at The National Trust Gunby Hall Estate in Lincolnshire. It was fascinating to find out about its place in history, listen to the descriptions of the rooms from the friendly Trust volunteers, the little anecdotes and so much more.

The Estate comprises the 42-room Gunby Hall. It's a Grade I Listed Building. It dates back to 1700.
The Clock Tower, Carriage House and Stable Block all date back to 1735 and are all Grade II Listed Buildings.
In 1944 the trustees of the Gunby Hall Estate, Lady Montgomery-Massingberd, Major Norman Leith-Hay-Clarke and Field Marshal Sir Archibald Montgomery-Massingberd, gifted the house to the National Trust together with its contents and the 1,500 acres of land.

The principal part of Gunby Hall was built at the end of the 17th century for Sir William Massingberd on the site of a small manor house that had once belonged to a family called Gunby. The 3-storey, 7-bay house was built of red brick, some brought from Holland in 1699, and the rest probably dug from the brickfield that is now the Icehouse Pond in the park. The exterior is distinctly formal; the only ornament is a doorway on the west front with an elaborately scrolled, broken segmental pediment enclosing a cartouche of arms. The interior decoration is restrained with simple early 18th-century panelling and an early Georgian staircase with a moulded ceiling.
