Bolling Hall

The Manor of Bolling was first mentioned in the Domesday Book and at that time was owned by a man named Sindi. The manor then came under the control of Ilbert de Lacy, and by 1316 it was owned by William Bolling

During the second siege of Bradford in 1643 during the English Civil War, the Royalists took the town and Bolling Hall became a Royalist base.

The Hall has been used as a museum since 1915 and there is usually material on display relating to the English Civil War, including a death mask of Oliver Cromwell.
