Bawtry Hall comprises a two storey predominantly Grade 2 Listed former country house situated within approximately 7 acres of formal and informal gardens, (that have been recently upgraded in status to, “of local historic interest”) leading down a lake situated to the south of the site.
The Georgian property was built on the site of a former Manor House on the outskirts of the town in 1779 for a leading West Yorkshire politician, and was purchased in 1905 by a Major George Herbert Peake. The Peakes became well known local figures, with the Major notable for flying his bi-plane from a field along the road to Blyth.
It remained in private ownership until 1939 when it was acquired by the Government. Taken over the RAF in 1941, it was used by them as the Headquarters of the No 1 (Bomber) Group.
Further additions were made to the Hall by the RAF for use as an Operations Centre and Meteorological Office. The Operations Centre was used for planning and carrying out many raids by Bomber Command during World War II. It was also used as an important RAF Operations Centre for the Falkland’s War.
