Full Description

Built c.1675, much altered under George II [1727-1760], when it was known as Tollerton Hall, and again by Pendock Neale Barry c.1800. Its Palladian pre-Pendock Barry form [was a] 3½-storey central block of three bays with Venetian and Diocletian windows and three-bay, 1½-storey link wings to slighty taller pavilions. In the remodelling of the garden front, the pavilions were removed, and the links were raised to the height of the main block, which was given a canted bay window. (1)
Named 'Roclaveston Manor'. (2)

I read at sometime there was a tunnel from the 'Manor house to a farm house across the road from the former gatehouse? Is there any details on this ? Regards Trevor Summerson

David Littlewood

Hi Trevor. As prevalent as tales of tunnels between buildings are, there is rarely any tangible evidence of them having existed. Nottinghamshire does of course have extensive cave systems in the city and the western side of the county. The prevalence of cellars and natural features certainly lends itself to enduringly popular stories of tunnels, candidates we have been alerted to in the past have often turned out to be historic drains or culverts . I am afraid we have no record of any in this instance.

There is a big cellar under the building. I remember carrying floor boards out of there when I was a school boy. We also climbed all through the attics and out onto the roof as 11 year olds.
