Description

Burton Agnes Manor House, The manor house, or Old Hall, at Burton Agnes was built by Roger de Stuteville between 1170 and 1180. The hall, like the village, was named after one of his daughters. In 1274 both passed by marriage to another notable family, the Somervilles. In about 1323 Joan Somerville married Rhys ap Gruffud. Their descendant Sir Walter Griffith is credited with restoring the Old Hall and adding its present roof in the 15th century.

The adjacent new Hall (not in the care of English Heritage, but open to the public) was built by Sir Henry Griffith between 1601 and 1610, probably to designs by Robert Smythson. In 1654 the estate passed to Sir Henry’s nephew Sir Francis Boynton, and it remains in the ownership of the Boynton family.

In the early 18th century the Old Hall was partly rebuilt in brick and converted to a laundry. The new Hall was partly remodelled around the same period. The Old Hall was taken into guardianship in 1948 and a programme of restoration was undertaken, including the repair and remodelling of some of the original openings.
