More about this scene
South Luffenham on the river Thater is a 7th-century Saxon settlement with North Luffenham, now adjacent to the A6121 Uppingham to Stamford road to the north, an attractive village of narrow streets and good limestone houses. St Mary's Church, with a very fine two-bay 12th-century north nave arcade, lies to the south-east, along with the rectory and the Hall. This later 17th-century house is unattributed, but it does have much in common with Lyndon Hall, designed by John Sturges in 1668. The photograph shows the entrance to the village across the stream, which is not improved by a pierced concrete Council parapet.
