Harrowby Hall

Harrowby Hall is a substantial residential building in Lincolnshire protected under England's Grade II* heritage classification for buildings of special interest. The house displays characteristics typical of its period and sits within grounds that form part of the wider estate.

The estate was acquired in 1754 by Sir Dudley Ryder from the Rolt family, becoming the primary residence of the influential Ryder family. This ownership established the property's significance in the local region during subsequent centuries.

The building maintains architectural elements that demonstrate the evolution of English residential design through different historical periods.

The building is subject to strict heritage protection regulations that control any modifications or repairs to its structure. Access to the interior may be restricted and typically requires advance notice or appointment.

Between 1935 and 1971 the estate hosted 59 smallholdings operated by the Land Settlement Association as part of an agricultural resettlement scheme. This scheme provided new farmers with land and support to establish themselves in rural areas.
