Kingston House is situated on the eastern outskirts of Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, England. At the end of the 16th century it was rebuilt into an Elizabethan mansion, with a renaissance south front. The Hall family estate covered much of the land on the eastern side of town and in Holt, with pieces in Trowbridge and Freshford as well. Thomas Halle (died 1457) was patron of the church of Freshford in 1444 and MP for Bath. After the dissolution of Bath Abbey in the 16th century, the Hall family were able to purchase much of the monastic buildings and land in the town.
