THRYBERGH HALL
History
A brief history of
THRYBERGH HALL
The name Thrybergh is believed to have its roots in the Anglo-Saxon period but no substantial explanation can be given as to its exact origin.
In the Domesday Book it is referred to as Triberga. It can be concluded from early records that a ‘Lord of the Manor’ existed at Thrybergh at the time of the Saxon King Edward the Confessor (1004-1066) and one can imagine a small, self-supporting community clustered round the manor house and the church which lay within sixty yards of each other.
Changing Hands
After the conquest in 1066, the successful Normans abolished the existing network of landowners & lords and the Thrybergh estate passed to William de Perci. The Percys held the seat until about 1200 when it passed to the Normanvilles. Adam de Normanville, who is known to have been living at Thrybergh in 1279 died without issues and the estate passed to his sister who had married Ralph de Rereseby.
The following 400 years saw an unbroken succession of 16 generations of Reresby’s occupying Thrybergh. The estate passed relatively briefly to the Saville-Finch family between 1706 and 1809 but then as was often common passed to a relative owing to a childless marriage.
That is how the estate came into the Fullerton family, with whom the ‘estate’ is most closely associated today.
The 'Old Hall'
After almost a hundred years The ‘Old Hall’ needed extensive repair and was becoming quite unsafe to live in. An estimate showed that it would be more costly to repair, than it would be to build a new house.
Consequently, in 1811, an architect was commissioned, a new site chosen on the estate, and work begun, which was to result in the distinguished Gothic style mansion we know today. The ‘Old Hall’ was demolished and no visible evidence of its existence remains today.
Characterful Rooms
The Fullerton family took possession of the new Hall in 1813/14. This is what we call the clubhouse or Thrybergh Hall today. Regarded as among the most beautiful mansions in the area, it afforded spacious accommodation: four main reception rooms, twenty-two bedrooms, ancillary rooms, and servants’ quarters.
Steeped in History
Col. John Skipworth Herbert Fullerton was the last of the family to live at Thrybergh, leaving in 1896 to take up residence at Noblethorpe Hall and the estate opened as a golf club on April 23rd, 1903. He maintained an interest in the Golf Club in an ex- officio capacity. In the calling notice for the 26th AGM in February 1929, he is still listed as President. He died in 1940 yet the Fullerton name lives on with function rooms and club competitions bearing the name.
