Riseholme Hall, Grade II listed building in Riseholme, England.
Riseholme Hall is an Italianate country house in Riseholme set within extensive grounds that include an eight-acre lake. The structure features ashlar and rendered facades typical of its architectural period and style.
The original late 18th-century house was enlarged and refaced by architect William Railton between 1840 and 1845 for the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to serve as a residence for Lincoln bishops. This major transformation created the Italianate appearance the building displays today.
The building currently functions as part of Riseholme College, belonging to Bishop Burton College, while sharing facilities with the University of Lincoln.
The hall is now located within Riseholme College, which is part of Bishop Burton College and operates in partnership with the University of Lincoln. This is an active educational facility, so visitor access may be restricted or require prior arrangement.
The first-floor rooms within the 1840 extension contain original timber laths that were hand-riven, a rare construction detail from that era. These handcrafted elements remained hidden until they were discovered during a survey in 2020.
