Bottisham Place

History of Bottisham Place

Listed Building

Farmhouse of several building periods, including at the South end a range probably of C15 origins and originally open to the roof, a C16 extension to the North, enlarged in C17 by a parallel passage range, and by a two bay service wing to North. … The initials I.H. probably refer to John Hasell (d.1572) whose family probably owned the house at that time. Inside the C17 wing to the North, the roof trusses are of raised tie-beam construction.

Barn, C17. Timber framed,. weatherboarded, part of which is original. The roof and roof covering are C20. Aisled, seven bays.

Granary, service and farm buildings including a wash-house, brewhouse, stable and barn of three bays. Late C17 or early C18.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
