Bolling Hall

Sadie Pearson
Bolling Hall Grounds
Phil Jackson/Bradford District Museums and Galleries

Bolling Hall Museum is a fascinating journey through the lives and times of the Bradford families who lived there for more than five hundred years. You can find it just a mile from Bradford city centre, sitting in a beautiful, quiet, leafy garden.

With parts of the building dating from Medieval times, Bolling Hall is a mix of styles and ideas with every nook and cranny packed with history.  For many years the hall was home to two grand families, the Bollings and the Tempests, who were involved in some of the most important (and violent) moments in the history of England and our city
