Garnsgate Hall is an early 18th century red brick grade II* listed building. It was built by the Delamore family around 1685 but was heavily remodelled in the early part of the 18th century (if not completely rebuilt) hence its predominantly Queen Anne appearance. The family sold the house in 1749 and the Allenby family then owned the Hall for over 150 years. Some famous characters in history have links with the Hall: a descendant of Oliver Cromwell

must have stayed there at some point (the Hall passed to Viscount Allenby's
stepbrother from his father's first marriage). Now it is being run as a small Bed and Breakfast and Farm Shop by the present owners. Garnsgate Hall is in Lutton Garnsgate across the A17 from Long Sutton
