The Grade I listed Brocklesby Hall ( 53°35'11.44"N 0°17'0.09"W ) is a large country house standing in the 27,000 acre (113 square kilometre) Brocklesby Park Estate. It probably dates from the 16th century, but was altered before 1708 and remodelled circa 1730. It was severely fire damaged in 1898, restored by the architect Sir Reginald Blomfield, and then reduced in size in the 20th century by the architect Claud Phillimore. It is built of brick in 3 storeys to a U-shaped floor plan with a 9-bay frontage. The 1898 fire and Phillimore's renovations destroyed most of the original interior features.[8]
The Pelham family originally moved to Lincolnshire in 1565, and the property has descended in the family to Charles Pelham, the 8th and current Earl of Yarborough.
The estate is primarily agricultural with a substantial acreage of woodland. The 1000-acre Park and woodlands were laid out in the 1770s by Capability Brown for Charles Anderson-Pelham, 1st Baron Yarborough and contain a significant number of (43) listed architectural features.[9]
