Built / Designed For: Walter Marshall

House & Family History: Hambleton Hall was built in 1881 as an Old English Style hunting box by Walter Marshall, who made a fortune from the brewery business of the same name. At his death, Marshall left Hambleton to his sister, Eva Astley Paston Cooper, a socialite who formed a literary and cultural salon at the house (frequent guests included Noël Coward, Charles Scott-Moncrieff, Philip Streatfeild, and Malcolm Sargent). Hambleton was converted into a country house hotel in 1979 by Tim and Stefa Hart. The restaurant has held a Michelin Star since 1982.

Garden & Outbuildings: Hambleton Hall has overlooked Rutland Water since the reservoir's construction in the 1970s.
