Hothorpe Hall
Hothorpe Hall, in Theddingworth, Leicestershire, is a Georgian manor house near Market Harborough. It was the birthplace of Simon Elwes. It is currently used as a conference centre.
==History==
The present house was built circa 1801 by John Cook on the site of an earlier Tudor manor. The Cook family lived at Hothorpe until 1881 when John Cook's great-nephew, Henry Everett sold the estate to Sir Humphrey de Trafford, 2nd Baronet, who then presented it to his second son Charles de Trafford.
Charles then lived at Hothorpe for about 47 years, extending the house and in 1892 building a Roman Catholic chapel there. In 1892 he married Lady Agnes Feilding who also came to live at Hothorpe and they raised their family there.
The de Traffords left Hothorpe in 1928, initially letting the house to tenants. In 1941, Hothorpe was sold to a timber merchant and was almost immediately requisitioned for the housing of evacuee children during World War II. In 1955, Hothorpe was about to be sold for demolition when it was purchased by the Lutheran Council of Great Britain for use as a conference centre.〔From: 'Theddingworth', A History of the County of Leicestershire: Volume 5: Gartree Hundred (1964), pp. 312-321.
