Bolling Hall is one of the oldest buildings in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.
It is now a museum and education centre surrounded by some of the gardens and land that were once part of the Bolling Hall estate. The location is extremely easy to get to as it’s only 5 minutes by car from Bradford town centre.
Before the Industrial Revolution, Bradford was a small town and difficult to defend as it lay in a basin. However, Bolling Hall occupies a commanding position on a hillside. The earliest part of this building, dating from the 14th century, has been interpreted as a peel tower, although Bradford is somewhat outside the typical geographical area for these defensive structures.
The Manor of Bolling is first mentioned in the Domesday Book and was at that time in the possession of a man named Sindi.
The manor then came under the control of Ilbert de Lacy. By 1316 the manor was owned by William Bolling, and Bollings owned the estate until the late 15th century when control went to the Tempests who held the estate until 1649.
The estate changed hands several times thereafter until eventually it was let to several tenants until being presented to the Bradford Corporation in 1912 which then opened it’s doors to the public as a Museum a few years later.
During the second siege of Bradford in 1643, during the English Civil War, the house was used as a Royalist base.
The Royalists took the town, which had strong Parliamentarian sympathies, and it was thought that the victors would put the inhabitants to the sword.
Inside the Hall is material on display relating to the English Civil War including a death mask of Oliver Cromwell.
In the 18th century, parts of the house were modernised by the architect John Carr, following a fire. The Hall was designated as a Grade I listed building in 1952.
Bolling Hall is absolutely worth a visit as you will be met with friendly and extremely knowledgable staff who are more than happy to make your visit a memorable one.
They also regularly have actors/actresses dressed in period costume and in full character representing the halls long history.

If you do visit the Hall it is free entry but they do rely on donations to help keep this amazing building going.
