This website carries information about Lotherton, the Hall and estate, and the Gascoigne family who lived in it, and much more.
The estate was purchased in the second decade of the nineteenth century by Richard Oliver-Gascoigne of Parlington Hall.
He never lived at Lotherton, and following his death in 1843 his two daughters inherited all the Gascoigne estates, including Lotherton.
After Isabella married in 1850 and her younger sibling Elizabeth married in 1852. They split the ownership of the estates, such that Elizabeth became the owner of Lotherton Hall and surrounding lands to the east of the A1.
The pages are in two styles, generally with two columns, but where necessary to support larger images a single column style is used.
In the late nineteenth century when the Hall was at its largest extent, a plan of the ground floor was drawn up. 1885 Plan

The facsimile copy of Samuel Buck's Sketchbook published by Wakefield Historical Publications is a unique record of views of Yorkshire Towns and country houses. The sketches form a detailed record of the Yorkshire of 290 years ago.
This section includes information from the Parlington website, as the Gascoigne name was inherited by Richard Oliver on the death of Sir Thomas Gascoigne at Parlington in February 1810.
Sir Thomas the youngest child of Sir Edward Gascoigne, inherited the Baronetcy in 1762. Picture is from the painting by Pompeo Batoni circa 1779 when Sir Thomas was aged 34.
The last Baronet, Sir Thomas Gascoigne 8th Bart. Died 1810. He famously had the Triumphal Arch built in 1783.
The Triumphal Arch is the key relic from the Gascoigne era. Situated at the head of the main driveway, built to commemorate the victory of the American colonialists in the Revolutionary War.
The Light Arch and Dark Arch are two structures built on Parlington Lane, the former carries an estate roadway over the lane the latter is actually a tunnel beneath the hall garden, to conceal the lane from the house.
