Description: | Barholm Old Hall is 16th/17th century in date, with 19th century modernisation and additions which was restored in 1963. It is a two storey building constructed of rubble and ashlar, with stone slates. To the southeast are the remains of a moat. {1}
The Old Hall is southwest of the church. The exterior presents a slightly more sophisticated example than usual of the small late 17th century manor house. The building is L- shaped, with pairs of moulded stone chimney stacks on the gable-ends. The east front, with a protruding chimneybreast and a similar protrusion on the opposite wing, capped by a timber finial, may have been a stair block. Internal evidence indicates that the left range was a 15th century open hall. There are two four-centred arched fireplaces dating from the 1600s. {2}
The hall is recorded on the first and second edition Ordnance Survey maps. {4}{5} | Subjects: | General Archaeology Building | Temporal: | 1500 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
