Bowthorpe:
Bowthorpe Hall main east front [5993] 1978-09-09
This property belonged to the Yaxleys in the 16c and was for many years the home of Catholic recusancy. About 1620 Henry Yaxley, with a view to defeating forfeiture as a recusant, conveyed the property to one Browne of Colney as a trustee who it appears proved dishonest. Sir Robert Yallop rescued this and other properties during the Commonwealth and for his good services Yaxley conveyed Bowthorpe to him. Sir Robert died in 1705. The Hall is of 17c style and was probably rebuilt by Sir Robert.
