Holme Pierrepont Hall, Nottingham

Holme Pierrepont Hall, in the parish of Holme Pierrepont near Nottingham, began as an early sixteenth-century courtyard house built for the Pierrepont family, later Earls and Dukes of Kingston. Seventeenth-century alterations followed, and the house was subsequently truncated so that only its south range now survives as the main part of the original courtyard plan. The hall was first listed on 12 February 1952 and holds Grade I status, reflecting its national architectural and historic significance. It remains one of the earlier brick-built country houses in Nottinghamshire.
