Clipsham

[5] Clipsham Hall of c. 1700 is a Grade II* listed mansion,[6] set in a landscaped park.

Clipsham stone,[8][9] part of the Upper Lincolnshire Limestone Formation, can be found in many of Britain's most famous buildings including King's College Chapel (Cambridge), the Examination Schools in Oxford, York Minster, and in repairs to the Houses of Parliament.

The topiary Yew Tree Avenue, once the carriage drive to Clipsham Hall, has been maintained by the Forestry Commission.

Many of the trees are over 200 years old and have been trimmed since the late 19th-century into various shapes depicting birds and animals on the tops and designs in relief on the sides.

[12] In 2024 the trust was awarded a grant of £114,650 in 2024 to preserve the trees and restore lost topiary designs.
