Description

A group of kerbstones located in the Inner Court of Kirby Hall, dating from the late 17th century and restored in the 20th century, likely for Sir Christopher Hatton IV.

Kirby Hall itself is recognized as an ancient monument and is included for its group value. Additionally, Kirby Hall Garden is listed in the Historic England County Register of Gardens at Grade II*.
