The setting of the hall overlooking classic English parkland in attractive Rutland countryside has changed little over centuries.
The gentle River Gwash flows gently by providing water for the historic mill built in the early 18th century on the site of a previous mill recorded in the Domesday book. The mill, just 200 yards from the hall, was part of the Tolethorpe estate until 1967
Early nineteenth century country poet, John Clare, is said to have walked with his girlfriend from Great Casterton to Ryhall along the banks of the river on summer evenings after a day working at the lime kilns in Pickworth.
The grounds of Tolethorpe Hall were landscaped in their present form in 1867 and remain much the same except that they where completely overgrown when the property was acquired by the Stamford Shakespeare Company in 1977.
A picnic on the lawns, a stroll around the lawn, pond and flowerbeds and shrubberies all add to the magic of a visit to Rutland Open Air Theatre

Reviews
 30 Nov 2011 |
Stayed in the cottage whilst visiting the area and International Antiques Fair. Ideally located with lovely villages within easy reach. The cottage was very spacious and clean with off road parking in an Idilic Village with friendly Pubs & Local Shop. The November weather was'nt great, but it was lovely and cosy with the Inglenook open log fire. Thanks to the owners who we found very friendly and hope to be back next year. Response: It means alot to us when guests take the time out to review our cottage in this way. We give a warm welcome to all our guests but are particularly heartened when someone has enjoyed it so much they want to come back. |
