Bradgate House
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Bradgate House, near to Newton Linford, Leicestershire, Great Britain.
Bradgate House was built between about 1490 and 1500 and was one of the first unfortified great houses in the country, reflecting the relative stability of the Tudor period now that the Wars of the Roses were over. The house suffered a chequered history, particularly following the unfortunate episode of Lady Jane Grey's coronation which led to the confiscation of the Grey's property. This was subsequently restored and the Greys lived here until 1719 after which the house was abandoned although the family retained the property and continued to manage the park. The park together with the ruins of the house were sold in 1925, eventually becoming the property of Charles Bennion who donated the park to the City and County of Leicester. Thus the house remains as a magnificent ruin with just the chapel restored to something like its original condition. |
