About Ayscoughfee Hall Museum and Gardens

Ayscoughfee Hall is a grade I listed building and modest associated parkland in central Spalding, Lincolnshire, England, and is a landmark on the fen tour.

The house is substantially unchanged from that period, and would be recognisable to a visitor from the fifteenth century.
