Full Description

The present Bilsby Hall is a brick-built house of 19th century date. It is set within a large medieval moated enclosure, and it thought to lie on the site of an earlier, possibly medieval, mansion (see PRN 41481). {1}{2}{3} Bilsby Hall has previously been confused with the listed nearby structure called Bilsby House. Photographs of Bilsby Hall show that it is brick-built, with a 3 bay front range, and extensions only to the north-east. The building features a double pile roof structure, and has a large porch and sash windows to the north-west front. {4}
