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]


As well as the hall the other Grade II buildings on the estate are the dovecote, the stable block and the ice house.[9][10][11] In front of the house, there is an excavated Roman bath house, viewable from the Grand Union Canal.[12]
