Thorpe Hall, 17th-century country house in Longthorpe, England.

Thorpe Hall features symmetrical elevations with three dormers, distinctive chimney shafts, and a main entrance accessed by eight steps leading to a balustrade.

Peter Mills constructed Thorpe Hall between 1653 and 1656 for Lord Chief Justice Oliver St John, using materials from the demolished Bishop's Palace.

The interior displays elaborate fireplaces and plaster ceilings that reflect the architectural preferences of England's Commonwealth period during the 1650s.

The Grade I listed building now operates as a Sue Ryder hospice while maintaining its Grade II listed gardens for public access throughout the year.

The mansion stands among few residential structures built during the Commonwealth period, incorporating materials from local cathedral ruins after parliamentary attacks.
