Leverington Hall

Introduction

Features of Leverington Hall include a walled garden, a lawn edged with shrub and herbaceous borders and a paved terrace.

The main garden is to the rear of the Hall and is also walled. The wide lawn is edged with shrub and herbaceous borders either side and stretches towards the old raised Sea Bank to the east. Originally the lawn was divided into four quadrants by paths. There is a paved terrace along the east of the house with a small rockery and an ornamental pond nearby.

History

Most of the old halls and manor houses in the Fenland parishes were pulled down in the early-19th century. Leverington Hall is one of the few survivors. The Hall dates to 1630 and stands opposite the church within a brick-walled forecourt with an entrance driveway through a pair of gate piers crowned with stone pineapple finials.
