Welcome to The Lilford Estate
Lilford Hall is a Grade 1 listed "stately home" with 100 rooms, and is considered by the UK Government as of outstanding architectural and historic interest. In particular, the Jacobean house built in 1635 is considered as of considerable significance, and Henry Flitcroft's Georgian alterations and additions in the 1740s are of a similar status.
Lilford Hall remained basically empty for around 50 years after the last Baron Lilford in residence died in 1949, and in consequence the Hall has slowly deteriorated over that time.
A comprehensive plan to repair and restore the Hall is in place to secure its future for the next 200 years. The extensive restoration plans can be viewed on this website.
This website gives a history of the Hall, details of the Families who have lived at the Hall, numerous photographs related to the Hall, and some links to history in the US and UK
If you wish to help in the restoration, please consider buying a plot of estate land with connections to royalty and "The Father of The Pilgrims" in the 250 year old Walled Garden at Lilford, and even become a SQUIRE (click here). These funds will be used to restore Lilford Hall to its former glory.
