Full Description

Morton Hall. (1)
James Fowler of Louth built this great Jacobean-style red brick house between 1865 and 1869 for George William Mason. … The house was demolished in 1946 because of the prohibitive cost of reinstating the buildings following its occupation by a tank regiment in the Second World War. A new Morton Hall stands in the grounds today. (2)
