*************

Minster Lovell Hall is a ruin in Minster Lovell, an English village in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. The ruins are situated by the River Windrush.

Minster Lovell Hall was built by William Lovell around 1440.^[1] As Minster Lovell was one of the earliest estates held by the Lovell family and one of their main residences it was at least the second building occupying this site.^[2]

The Hall was a fairly typical if impressive manor house. The buildings surround three sides of a square; the fourth side towards the River Windrush was closed off by a wall. The great tower at the south-west corner seems to be a later addition to the house, as part of the adjoining west wing had to be rebuilt.^[3]

Minster Lovell Hall remained the main residence of the Lovell family. Richard III visited it as a guest of Francis Lovell, 1st Viscount Lovell grandson of William Lovell.^[4] Francis Lovell's estates were declared forfeit after the Battle of Bosworth and Minster Lovell was granted to Jasper Tudor, uncle of Henry VII.^[5]

The property changed hands several times over the next two centuries.^[6] Among the owners were Henry VIII's gentlemen of the stool, William Compton and Henry Norris.^[7]

The property was bought in 1603 by Sir Edward Coke. The manor remained in the Coke family for several generations, and Thomas Coke, created Baron Lovel in 1728, abandoned Minster Lovell Hall in 1747.^[8] Large parts of the buildings were dismantled.^[9] By the early eighteenth century the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall were thought to have been the buildings of an alien priory.^[10]
