	Belton House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the time of the Tudors.
		Belton is built of the local Ancaster stone, with a lighter ashlar from Ketton for the quoining.
		The cupola at Belton does not light a lofty domed hall, as is often the case in Europe, but houses a staircase which gives access to a large viewing platform on top of a lead roof, concealed from the ground by the balustrade which tops the more conventional and visible hipped roof.

	Belton House, Lincolnshire
		Belton House in Lincolnshire is a place that I visited some years ago on a school trip and have only just recently revisited.
		Belton House itself was built between 1684 and 1688.
		Be warned though that when you exit the house you actually come out at a different place to where you began the tour and if, like me, someone is waiting for you it might be a good idea to let them know this so that you don't lose them.
