More About Lamport Hall in Northamptonshire
Architecturally, Lamport Hall is of Grade I importance. During the time of the Commonwealth, the Hall was developed from a Tudor Manor and is now best known for its classical frontage. The Hall is set in tranquil gardens, enclosed by a spacious park. Of the gardens originally laid out in 1655 by Gilbert Clarke, only the surrounding banks and large wrought iron gates still remain. Today the gardens include extensive herbaceous borders and shrubbery walks containing some rare and interesting plants.
