aerial photograph of Grimsthorpe Castle Lincolnshire England UK
aerial photograph of Grimsthorpe Castle Lincolnshire England UK. Grimsthorpe Castle has been home to the de Eresby family since it was granted to them by Henry VIII in 1516. The building started life as a Castle built in the 13th Century which was much altered in Tudor times to become a comfortable residence rather than a military building.The baroque facade of the house was created in 1707 to a design by Sir John Vanbrugh. The surrounding parkland was styled by Capability Brown in 1771. During the first World War the park was used as an emergency landing ground by the Royal Flying Corps and in the Second World War a Company of the Parachute Regiment was housed here.
