Grantham House, a historic jewel nestled in the heart of Grantham, has recently reopened to the public, offering a unique insight into Lincolnshire’s medieval heritage. This Grade I listed property, under the custody of the National Trust, has been extensively restored, with an investment exceeding £200,000. This investment comprises funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which is also matched by the National Trust.
Tracing its foundations back to the 14th Century, the estate showcases splendid walled gardens, a tranquil riverside meadow, and lawns decorated with traditional games such as croquet and oversized chess. This makes it an appealing retreat for both locals and tourists. In addition, it accommodates a café and a second-hand bookshop, while space can be rented for use in conjunction with the nearby St Wulfram’s Church, which has plans to put on various events.
Grantham House welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 17:00 until October. After this, its opening times will alter to Thursday to Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00. Entrance is free of charge, presenting an ideal opportunity for inhabitants of Lincolnshire and further afield to unearth this ‘hidden gem’ of yesteryear.
