Northborough Hall is a medieval fortified manor house, founded by Geoffrey de la Mare. In 1329-30, Roger de Norburgh founded the present range of stone buildings, by adding a large fine gatehouse and a great hall, with a screened entrance passage to the central courtyard. Altered during the 17th century and once moated, it is still a major example of a medieval stone defensible complex. 6 miles south is Peterborough Castle.
