History of Gainsborough Old Hall
Gainsborough Old Hall is a medieval manor house in Lincolnshire, the surviving structures built by Sir Thomas Burgh II in the late 15th century. The hall was the seat of the Burghs from 1430 until 1596, and then sold to the merchant Hickman family, who resided there until around 1730. Its later history is a fascinating mix of residential use, workshops and businesses, a theatre space and civic institutions.
