Lound Hall is a country house which sits on the outskirts of Bothamsall village. The current house was built in the 1930s for Sir Harald Peake, but there has been a manor house on the site since the 1700s. The ruins of Haughton Chapel lie in the grounds of the estate.
The Lound Hall Estate is responsible for the upkeep of a number of local churches, including Bothamsall Church and Milton Mausoleum, both of which have been under the care of the Lord of the Manor since the 1800s.
War Time
The Hall was requisitioned during World War II for use as a base for the Royal Air Force, and then later became a military hospital for injured servicemen.
The Estate
The house and gardens are not open to the public but the exterior and stable courtyard can be seen from footpaths that pass through the grounds and main drive. The 1,800 acre estate reaches past Bevercotes village and includes parts of Bothamsall and also the neighbouring village of Milton.
Restoration
In 2010 the hall went under a significant restouration project, financed by the Hall's owners Robert Everist and Susan Emma Mills.
