I had heard of Minster Lovell Hall but it was never somewhere I thought of visiting. Some of the guys I used to work with came from the village. Last week I was visiting St Kenelms church for my blog and noticed that Mister Lovell Hall was next door so I took the time to have a quick look around the place. Minster Lovell Hall is now under the care of English Heritage and is open during reasonable daylight hours to look around.
You literally walk out of the churchyard and you are in the ground of the hall
Wide angle view of the hall remains, the main entrance is blocked off because the ceiling is unsafe
The remaining tower near the River Windrush
The view you normally see in literature on the place
The west end of the hall
A great hall used for entertaining royalty and other dignitary's
One of the other rooms in the place
the corner which took you to another wing of the building, the old doorway which took you to an upper floor still in place
In the foreground you can see a covered well where they would have drawn water which is a couple of foot below the grate
The grand entrance with the intricate ceiling, I managed to get a photo over the top of the fence
And one of the church through the ruins
Take care
History captured beautifully.
