Kettlethorpe Hall
:''For the Georgian house in West Yorkshire, see Newmillerdam''
Kettlethorpe Hall is a Victorian house in Kettlethorpe, Lincolnshire, noted for its connection to Katherine Swynford. It encloses fragments of the former manor house including the gatehouse, within the surviving moat. This moat and its cleaning was one of the egregious examples of MPs' expenses claims which aroused public ire during 2009 and contributed to the retirement of its owner, Douglas Hogg, from the House of Commons.〔(Kettlethorpe Hall ): "As well as the medieval gatehouse, walls and some carved heads, there is a small oak-panelled room dating from the 17th century. A panelled dining room situated in the old tower dates from the early 18th century, with a fine marble fireplace from later in the same century. The drawing room has a particularly beautiful stucco ceiling from the end of the 18th century, while the library and front hall are Victorian".〕
Sir Hugh Swynford (died in 1371) married Katherine Roelt, whose sister is believed to have been the wife of Geoffrey Chaucer. Lady Katherine became governess to the children of John of Gaunt, the third surviving son of Edward III. Her four children by Gaunt, the Beauforts, were eventually legitimized when Lady Katherine married John of Gaunt as his third wife, in 1396. She at one time lived at Kettlethorpe Hall.
