This was our last stop on the Cotswolds tour. After a long day of quaint cottages and village streets, who wouldn't enjoy a good ruin?
The hall was built by William, Baron Lovell, in the 1430's. Unfortunately it didn't remain in the family for long; William's grandson Francis was a supporter of Richard III and after Richard's defeat at Bosworth, the property was seized by the Crown. It was abandoned and dismantled for building stone in the 1700's, and has been a ruin ever since.
