Monument record 3884/3 - Hatton Manor

{5} In 1573-4 part of the Abbey manor was acquired by Sir Christopher Hatton. It was in 1616 divided between Hatton and Robert, Earl of Leicester. Hatton also acquired the tenement and virgate which St Andrews priory had held in Wellingborough, and the Irthlingborough College manor. The property remained divided thus until the 19th century.
At some time following the division of the manor in 1616 a new manor house was constructed on the north west side of Broad Green. It is unclear whether the manor house was built on a new site, from land previously peasant tenements or whether it had been the site of one of the lesser manors which had come into Hatton ownership in the late C16th. A large hall was built adjacent in 1783, now known as Hatton Hall.
By 1838 a small landscape park with several plantations had been laid out behind Hatton Hall.
