Elsham Hall

Elsham Hall is a limestone country house with a three-story east facade decorated with rusticated stonework and an ornamental pediment. The building follows a square layout typical of English country houses of its period.

The house was built in the 1600s and went through major rebuilding in the 1760s when the Thompson family owned it. Those renovations shaped much of what visitors see in the building today.

The chapel built in the 1930s reflects the religious life of families who lived here over generations. You can walk through rooms that show how people arranged their daily lives in this grand house.

The property operates as a country park with various facilities spread across the grounds for different visitors. You can find a carp lake, adventure areas for children, and craft workshops to explore at your own pace.

Many visitors overlook the fact that the estate includes large woodland and pasture areas used for community gatherings and events. These expansive natural spaces offer a sense of open countryside rarely expected within the grounds.
