Description
Bolling Hall offers visitors a fascinating journey through the lives
and times of the Bradford families for whom it provided a home over five
hundred years.
Situated just a mile from Bradford city centre and situated in a
quiet, leafy garden, Bolling Hall was for many years the seat of two
important land-owning families, the Bollings and the Tempests.
With parts of the building dating from the Medieval, Bolling Hall
is a rambling mixture of styles with every nook and cranny packed with
history. During the Civil War the household supported the Royalist
cause, and the house provided a stronghold during the 'siege of
Bradford'.
Rooms are furnished and decorated to give an accurate taste of life
at different periods of the house's history, and the fascinating
furniture on display includes a superb bed made for Harewood House by
Thomas Chippendale.
