Lockington Hall

Lockington Hall is a 17th-century country house, much improved and extended in later centuries, situated at Main Street, Hemington, Lockington, Leicestershire, and now converted to use as offices.

The house was built in about 1688 on the site of the former Nether Hall.

The Bainbrigge line expired in about 1797 and the estate passed to Rev Phillip Story who remodelled the house, adding a second storey, and a Tuscan colonnade to the seven bayed east front.

In 1872 the property was sold by John Bainbrigge Story (High Sheriff of Leicestershire 1842) to Nathaniel Charles Curzon of Breedon Hall ( a descendant of the brother of Sir John Curzon, first of the Curzon Baronets of Kedleston Hall.

Curzon greatly extended the house, adding two service wings and a porte-cochere to the five bayed north entrance front.
