Mga tip mula sa mga tagaroon
The Isham family lived at Lamport for over 400 years, until Sir Gyles Isham, the 12th Baronet, died in 1976 and contains a wealth of furniture, paintings, books and china.
Nestled in the Northamptonshire countryside, and yet only a short drive from the motorway network, Lamport has a story worth telling. Developed from a Tudor manor house, architecturally the hall has been worked on by John Webb, Smith of Warwick and William Burn but is best known for its classical frontage.
amport Hall and Gardens, a 10 minute drive away, is open every Wednesday and Thursday. A Tudor founder, blind book collector, wayward 17th century grand tourist, eccentric Victorians, Lamport Hall has been home to the Isham family for over four centuries, and the fortunes, interests and trials of each generation have left their mark.
The Hall is set in approximately 10 acres of tranquil gardens, the result of over 450 years of love and dedication, enclosed by a spacious park. Although their size and location are the same as when they were first laid out, their design has been strongly influenced by the interests and tastes of successive owners.
