Lolham Hall

Lolham Hall is a late 15th century to early 16th century house that has undergone alterations and additions in the 18th century. It is constructed of coursed stone and features a hipped roof made of Collyweston stone. The building has two storeys and three bays, with the loft and right-hand wings projecting and also having hipped roofs. The windows are primarily 19th century and modern mullion/transom casements, which include stone dripmoulds. A modern conservatory is located on the ground floor between the wings. At the rear, the north end of the east wing is gabled and weatherboarded, representing part of the original structure. The first floor of this wing has been partly demolished, but the ground floor retains a corner buttress with set-offs and a small slit opening. The chimney stacks are made of ashlar and feature cornices.

Inside, the first floor east room contains 16th century panelling and a Tudor arched stone fireplace. This room is noted to have been used by Oliver Cromwell during his stay. The manor was held by the Claypoles from 1568 until the late 17th century, after which it was sold to Lord Fitzwilliam. Cromwell's daughter married a Claypole, and his widow lived in the parish of Northborough.
