\t\t\t\tLotherton Hall\u00a0is a\u00a0country house\u00a0near\u00a0Aberford,\u00a0West Yorkshire,\u00a0England. \u00a0The building has been home to a number of prominent families, including the\u00a0Nevilles\u00a0(notably\u00a0Archbishop\u00a0George Neville, younger brother of\u00a0Warwick the Kingmaker), the\u00a0de Hothams, and finally the\u00a0Gascoignes\u00a0in 1825. Richard Trench Gascoigne took up ownership of the house following the death of his aunt Elizabeth, wife of\u00a0Lord Ashtown, in 1893. It became the main residence of the Gascoigne family after the death of Richard’s father Frederick at\u00a0Parlington Hall\u00a0in 1905.<\/p>\n
The house is sited on part of the Gascoigne\u00a0estate, and was presented for public access to the\u00a0City of Leeds\u00a0in 1968 by Sir Alvary Gascoigne and his wife, last of the Gascoigne family, whose roots were at Parlington Hall.\u00a0<\/span>The estate is now home to an extensive collection of rare and endangered bird species and a herd of\u00a0red deer\u00a0and\u00a0llamas. There is a large expanse of\u00a0grassland\u00a0in front of the bird\u00a0sanctuary, typically used during the summer months for\u00a0ball games\u00a0and\u00a0picnics. Behind the Hall itself a further field is often used to host\u00a0shows, such as an annual\u00a0motorcycle\u00a0show.<\/p>\n The Hall, which was extensively rebuilt during the\u00a0Victorian\u00a0and\u00a0Edwardian\u00a0eras, holds an impressive collection of\u00a0objets d’art\u00a0which has been built up since the 18th century and which are now on public display.\u00a0The Hall is licensed to hold wedding and civil partnership ceremonies.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n \t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lotherton Hall\u00a0is a\u00a0country house\u00a0near\u00a0Aberford,\u00a0West Yorkshire,\u00a0England. \u00a0The building has been home to a number of prominent families, including the\u00a0Nevilles\u00a0(notably\u00a0Archbishop\u00a0George Neville, younger brother of\u00a0Warwick the Kingmaker), the\u00a0de Hothams, and finally the\u00a0Gascoignes\u00a0in 1825.
