Boringdon Hall, Grade I listed manor house in Plymouth, England
Boringdon Hall is a grand manor house in Plymouth featuring a great hall that rises through two stories with large windows and a granite fireplace carved with Parker family arms. The structure blends medieval foundations with sixteenth-century modifications into a unified architectural composition.
The property's history traces back to the tenth century when King Edgar granted the original land to Plympton Priory. Significant rebuilding in the sixteenth century transformed it into the manor house seen today.
The hall displays a large plaster representation of King Charles I's royal coat of arms, with figures on either side representing Peace and Plenty.
The property sits within reach of Plymouth Train Station about six miles away and connects to major road networks through the A38 motorway. Visitors should check access requirements before arrival since the house operates on limited viewing arrangements.
A Roman-style triumphal arch designed by Robert Adam in 1783 subtly links this estate with nearby Saltram House through a rare architectural connection. This linking of two significant houses reveals the cultural networks shared by the region's wealthy families during the eighteenth century.
