Kettlethorpe Hall

[2] Sir Hugh Swynford (died in 1371) married Katherine Roet, whose sister Philippa is believed to have been the wife of Geoffrey Chaucer.

The present house was built in the early 1700s for Charles Hall, MP, whose grandfather had acquired the estate by marriage.

[2] He died without issue and bequeathed Kettlethorpe to his half-brother's son, Charles Amcotts, MP of Harrington Hall.

He in turn left it to his sister Anna-Maria, who had married Sir Wharton Emerson, who changed his name to Amcotts.

After passing by marriage to Sir William Amcotts-Ingilby it was inherited by Weston Cracroft Amcotts, MP, who carried out extensive remodelling of the house in 1863.
