Trumpington Hall

Trumpington Hall is one of the grandest houses in the village

Listed Building

Circa 1710. Heightened and re-roofed in the early C19. Various additions and alterations in C20. (Historic England)

Forecourt screen, gatepiers and gates at Trumpington Hall.


Trumpington Hall, though too much altered to be an outstanding example of a building of the early 18th century, is a house of gracious dignity in a fine, spacious architectural and natural setting.  It is privately owned, and not open to the public.

An article on Trumpington Hall and the Pemberton family appears here on the Trumpington Local History Group website.


1847 (September)

An arsonist started a fire in haystacks close to the Hall. Though there were 30 stacks, only three were lost.
