Set in the heart of rural Cambridgeshire, Kimbolton Castle was first built as a fortified manor house, and later modified during the Tudor and Stuart periods. It was the home of the Earl and Dukes of Manchester for over three hundred years.

The Castle in its present form dates almost entirely to between 1690 and 1720, when it was remodelled in two stages by Charles Edward Montagu, the fourth Earl. The first stage was undertaken by Henry Bell with Sir John Vanbrugh responsible for the second. In 1764 Robert Adam designed the gatehouse to blend with Vanbrugh’s masculine style. In 1950 the Castle was bought by Kimbolton School whose home it has been ever since. Andrew Bamford, Castle Curator, will lead an exclusive tour of this rarely open Vanbrugh masterpiece.
