Minster Lovell Hall

My latest wanderings led me to the Cotswold town of Minster Lovell and the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall on the banks of the River Windrush.

Minister Lovell Hall was built by William Lovell in the 1440 and was further extended  by his grandson, Lord Francis. 



The last resident was Thomas Coke 


who moved into a house in Holkham, Norfolk, 

leaving the Minster Lovell to be dismantled in 1747.

The fields and some of the out-buildings remain
