Brief description of site

Papplewick Hall has a landscape park which is surrounded by tree belts. The hall looks west across the gently curving grassed valley, which frames the west view to the River Leen running north/south through the park.

Brief history of site

Augustinian canons were granted Papplewick in the late 12th century. The estate was bought by Sir John Byron in 1540. Frederick Montagu inherited in 1759 and built Papplewick Hall between 1781 and 1787 to replace an earlier house. The estate was split up and in 1925 and remains in divided ownership.
