BACKGROUND INFORMATION: East Carlton is a small agricultural village about seven miles north of Kettering and three miles west of Corby. The main feature of the village was the seat of the Palmer family, Carlton Hall, with its extensive park. In 1776/1778 Sir John Palmer, 5th Baronet, commissioned John Johnson, a Leicester architect to design a new hall. It was built on the foundations of the previous hall and was enlarged by Sir John Henry Palmer, 7th Baronet, in 1817, after which it was leased to a variety of notable tenants. It was further rebuilt in 1870 by the architect Edmund Francis Law, with red brick and ironstone in the style of a French château and replaced a Palladian house of 1778. It is said that the stone wall which surrounds the south and east of the parkland was the re-used stone of the old Hall. The hall is now referred to as East Carlton Hall with extensive grounds overlooking the Welland Valley. The house has now been sold as a family home and is not open to the public.
