Holme Pierrepont Hall

Holme Pierrepont Hall

Holme Pierrepont Hall is a medieval hall in Holme Pierrepont near Nottingham.

History

The Pierrepont family have lived at Holme Pierrepont since around 1280. Originally the area was known only as Holme, but later adopted the family surname as a suffix.

The hall was built by Sir William Pierrepont around 1500. The north range was rebuilt by Robert Pierrepont, 1st Earl of Kingston-upon-Hull in 1628, but was demolished around 1730 before being rebuilt around 1870.

Until 1975 the front was encased in stucco, but this has been removed to reveal the original brickwork.

The house is set in 30 acres of parkland.

Current use

Holme Pierrepont is regularly open to the public on a few days in February and March each year. All house opening details can be found on the website. The house is also now a luxury function venue, available for weddings and corporate events, and is used for filming and photo shoots.

Adjacent to the house is St. Edmund's Church, Holme Pierrepont.
