Encyclopedia > Branston Hall

Branston Hall is an elegant country house in the Lincolnshire village of Branston. The hall was built between 1884 and 1886 and is set in 88 acres of wooded parkland and lakes.


The building has had an interesting history, commissioned as the family seat of the Melville family, becoming an RAF hospital during World War II, lying derelict in the 1970 and 1980s, undergoing restoration and conversion into a luxury retirement home in the late 1980s, before finally being restored and converted into a popular local hotel.
