Description: | Gainsborough is renowned for its subterranean tunnels, which run across the town. The hall too has extensive cellars, some of which were blocked off a long time ago. Both ends of the Great Hall had cellars. Those at the private end would have stored the more precious commodities like imported wines. Those at the service end were for storing beers and other beverages brewed at the Hall. There is also a well present under the portion, which runs under the Buttery. These cellars were important and they are stone lined. During excavations of the cellars two 16th Century onion type wine bottles were uncovered. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
