Carlton Curlieu Hall

It is the home of the Palmer family and is a Grade II* listed building.

[1] John Bale purchased land at Carlton Curlieu in 1549 and in 1575 his nephew and namesake acquired the Manor estate.

The house which incorporates later alterations, presents an entrance front of five bays and three storeys with basements.

Following the death in or before 1654 of Sir John Bale Bt the first and only Bale baronet, the house was sold in 1664 to Sir Geoffrey Palmer Bt of East Carlton Hall, Northamptonshire, Attorney General in 1660.

The house became the principal seat of the Palmer family following the sale of East Carlton in 1933.
