A little history
Gainsborough Old Hall, built in 1480, is one of the finest surviving medieval manor houses in England — Henry VIII visited with Katherine Howard. The Trent's tidal bore — the Aegir — is one of England's most dramatic natural phenomena. The Pilgrim Fathers movement had strong local roots.
Gainsborough Old Hall is extraordinary and remarkably intact — one of England's great medieval buildings. The Aegir tidal bore in the right conditions is extraordinary. The Tuesday and Saturday markets.
