Elton Hall, Country house and museum in Elton, England.

The Gothic south elevation and French-style entrance wing of Elton Hall combine different architectural elements across multiple periods of construction.

The Proby family acquired Elton Hall in 1660, transforming the original medieval structure from 1475 through generations of architectural modifications.

The library contains over 10,000 volumes, including a prayer book with handwritten notes from Henry VIII and his children.

The property opens from June to August, with timed entry to the house while the gardens allow flexible exploration throughout opening hours.

During World War II, the Red Cross used Elton Hall as a convalescent home, leading to maintenance delays that required extensive restoration.
