Cleatham Hall

Cleatham Hall is an English country house located near Manton in Lincolnshire, England.

Cleatham Hall main house dates to 1855; it is south-facing, of 2-stories and 5-bays and is in the Classical Revival style.

The panelled door and ground-floor sash-windows are surmounted by hoods with moulded cornices supported by carved consoles.

The roof-line is defined by a moulded cornice and parapet supported by triglyphs and modillions, and with friezes in panels above the pilasters.

[1] The interior features a geometrical stone staircase with slender cast-iron balusters and decorated with moulded cornices and wall-niches.

[1] The hall is sited in a 13 acres (5.3 ha) estate,[3] with a walled-garden to the north, and outbuildings including an 1802 coach-house designed by William Fowler.

[2] Nikolaus Pevsner, on his visit, noted that the estate has been "deparked", and comments that Mr. Maw's pre-1855 house was a "Georgian box".

[9] When he died in 1901 his eldest son Arthur Matthew Maw (1869-1944) became the owner of Cleatham Hall.

[10] Their youngest son Wing Commander Roger Maw (1906-1992) was famous for the part he played in the escape from the German prisoner of war camp Stalag Luft III in 1943.
