Island Hall

Island Hall is a Grade II* listed Georgian mansion located near the River Great Ouse in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, England.

[1] Named after a two-acre ornamental island on the River Great Ouse, the house was built in 1749 as a combined 21st birthday and wedding present for John Jackson, the receiver general for Huntingdonshire, and his family.

[2][3][4] He sold it to Jacob Julian Baumgartner in 1804 for 2,000 guineas in order to pay his debts.

[5] After the fire in 1979, the house was sold to the Heritage family, who initiated a major restoration process.

The Nissen huts and internal partitions were removed from the garden and building, respectively, and the fire damage was cleaned up.
