Gunby Hall Estate: Monksthorpe Chapel

A lot has happened since Monksthorpe Chapel was built in 1701. Uncover the ups and downs of this special place with a potted history.

Monksthorpe Chapel is steeped in history and has been a place of worship for local Baptists for many years. Find out more about the people who are buried in the graveyard from the downloadable plan.

The Old Rectory is perfect for a large group or celebrations as it has six bedrooms sleeping eleven guests. With delightful large gardens and wonderful views across open countryside, this peaceful large house is ideal for family gatherings or friends' reunions.

Whitegates Cottage is a cosy, two storey cottage constructed of traditional mud and stud walls. The thatched holiday home has been carefully restored and retains many original features including doorways, floors and low beamed ceilings.

Nestled in the Gunby gardens, this very pretty, former gardener’s cottage is packed full of character with its low doorways and cosy open fire. It sits within its own private garden in the superb setting of Gunby Hall.

Your membership will go towards looking after all of this for generations to come.

For more than 125 year people have helped us to protect some of the UK's best-loved places. Everyone needs nature, beauty and green spaces; now more than ever. But our income has dropped sharply due to the coronavirus crisis, and our essential conservation work is at risk. Please give what you can to help us look after these places, so people and nature can thrive.
