Cosgrove Hall is an early-18th-century Grade II listed country house in Cosgrove, Northamptonshire.[1][2] It was built on the site of an earlier house by the Furtho family. It is not open to the public.[3] It may have been built by John Lumley of Northampton.[4] In the nineteenth century, the building belonged to John Christopher Mansel.[5][6] In May 1945, Queen Geraldine of Albania, the Queen consort to King Zog I of Albania, opened a fête at the hall.[7] The building was destroyed by fire in October 2016.[8]
