Gainsborough Old Hall, Lincolnshire
Gainsborough Old Hall in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire is one of the best preserved medieval manor houses in England.
The hall was built by Sir Thomas Burgh in 1460. Gainsborough Old Hall was not only their home, but also a demonstration of their wealth and importance. Burgh was a benefactor to Newark Church and also the founder of the Chantry and Alms House at Gainsborough. In 1484 Thomas entertained King Richard III in his hall.
In 1510, Thomas Burgh's son, Edward Burgh, 2nd Baron Burgh, was incarcerated at the Old Hall after being declared a lunatic, never having attended the House of Lords. He died in 1528, leaving his eldest son Sir Thomas as head of the family. He was regarded as 1st Baron Burgh, de jure 3rd. In 1529, Thomas' son and heir, Edward, married Catherine Parr, later Queen consort to King Henry VIII. The couple stayed at Gainsborough Old Hall until 1530, when they were granted their own manor in Kirton-in-Lindsey.
Henry VIII visited Gainsborough twice: once in 1509, and again in 1541 with his fifth wife, Queen Catherine Howard. The Queen was accused of indiscretions both at Gainsborough and Lincoln, and she was later executed. Catherine Parr, by this time widowed twice (Edward Burgh having died in 1533), became Henry's sixth wife.
When Thomas, the fifth Lord Burgh, died without an heir, the Hall was sold in 1596 to William Hickman, a merchant from London, who made many improvements, especially to the east wing. The Hickman family continued to play a prominent role in the development of Gainsborough, and many became local members of Parliament. Sir Neville Hickman invited John Wesley to preach in the Great Hall several times in 1759, and in 1761 and 1764.
In 1720 a new house was built at Thonock on the edge of the town and the Old Hall became unoccupied. It remained in the family and was used for a variety of purposes.
Architecturally, the Old Hall has changed very little over the years. It is principally a timber framed building, giving a characteristic 'striped' or 'black and white' appearance. On the north-east corner is a brick tower. A splendid view of the town is available after a fifty-nine-step climb to the top.
Today, the Hall with its elaborate timber roof survives, with a kitchen which is possibly the most complete medieval kitchen in England. The kitchen still contains many original features, including two open fireplaces, each large enough to roast an ox, and two bread ovens served by a third chimney.
The house is now owned by English Heritage and is open to the public as a museum.

Beautiful video. Beautiful music. What is the music?
I would love the opportunity to fill this home with wonderful things!
Przepiękne wnętrza na ludzką skalę. Ten dom żyje.
is this place linked to anyone connected to Anne Lister?
Wundervoll Ich liebe diesen alten Kram, aber ich woĺlte niemals in so einem Haus wohnen Zu gross im Winter nicht warm zu bekommen u ständig von fremden Menschen umgeben die jeden Schritt belauern Scheusslich
Restored and furnished under the guidance of the masterly curator Daru Rooke, who was the best thing that happened to this remarkable house in recent years.
Wow, quite a place! Lots of interesting things to see. Thank you for sharing this.
I can imagine what a peasant back then would have thought about living in such luxury! Aside from my microwave and WIFI, I would not miss much else living in a building like this.
Very beautiful and nice music to boot. Thank you!
Thank you for this. As an old American, I will never see these in person, so I am happy that you're willing to use your time and energy to make these videos.
A very gloomy place with little feminism.
I love this place, but some of those ceilings...! I'd be afraid the weight of them would make them fall. Thank you for sharing this!!!
Thank you! Being trapped here in American, without you, I probably would never see many of these places.
Beautiful house wonderful stone xxx❤
Thanks for sharing this - it's a mansion I never knew about!
It would be great to include historical information about the home
It's a GREAT building! Thank you for sharing this!

Ooooh! The Vaughan Williams Oboe Concerto is so beautiful. I love it!
As an American who will probably never get a chance to see these places in person, I thank you and appreciate your efforts.
Beautiful
Wow! Incredible castle!
As I went back to the top to hit like, I saw I wasn't subscribed. Your stuff shows up in my feed all the time. I was sure I was subscribed...you may want to check with UA-cam. Whatever the case, I'm certainly subscribed now.
I had to see people near the exterior before I realized the large scale of the house. Even so, compared to Elizabethan "prodigy" houses like Burghley, Gawthorpe has an appealing pocket-manor aspect in it's compactness and symmetry. The interiors seem so fresh I think they might be Victorian. If not, their state of preservation is astonishing. That indicates residents (and servants) over several hundred years who cared for it with faithful love. I'm a sucker for paneled rooms that leave stone door frames exposed, so that stair hall is my kind of gorgeous. The terraced half-round garden is breathtaking. When I noticed the person near the center, I was again struck by the deceptive scale. The plantings are tall enough to be like a maze, and it's monumental. Things are seldom both monumental and beautiful; but this is, and I've not seen anything like it. While the music isn't my personal favorite, this video is a little gem like your others. Thank you so much!
I don't often see this building showcased. Thanks for sharing this!
I’d really like to know more. Very intriguing place.
Music is to dramatic in my opinion. Lovely otherwise.
This castle is amazing and no video does it justice. I spent an evening here back in the early 90’s for a Halloween party. Keeps getting better as the years go bye. Ive tried to watch anything that pops up on this place and the evolution of everyones hard work is wonderful to witness.
Cuthbert Clifton of Lytham, Lancs was the first owner of Lytham Manor. The Cliftons were a gentle family and I think of them was raised to the peerage as a baron.
That house is so big, one needs a fleet of motorized wheelchairs and a couple of elevators to navigate through it.
Th exterior is not that interesting...from an architecture perspective. The interior however, is excellent!

Wow! This place is amazing! Thanks for sharing it with us
Maravilloso lugar y qe atesora grandes colecciones de muebles de diferentes estilos ingleses.
Nice Video! Wich Composer belongs the Keyboard Music?
Why no information about this building; who built it and when? At least add a small lettering to the video. It’s a disservice to post something like this.😡😡😡
Amazing property ..the amount and the quality of details is superb.....pity though that the rooms are so poorly furnished, even by hotels' standards.....
What a beautiful home. I would love to live there. The house is warm and inviting. Just lovely! The gardens are very pretty. ❤️🙏❤️
I have book on Hardwick Castle, this puts it to shame in showing off the tapestries which was the main reason I bought the book.
Fantastic - those ceilings are the most intricate designs I have ever seen - beautiful - I found myself contemplating how to do a ceiling in that mode in my house !
