Riseholme Hall, here viewed from the north, was built by the Chaplin family in 1744.

Purchased by the Church Commissioners in 1840, the Hall was restyled by the architect William Rainton and until the late nineteenth century was the Palace of the Bishop of Lincoln.

After World War 2, the Hall and estate became an agricultural college, now a Campus of the University of Lincoln.

In July 2012, the Further Education provision at Riseholme College transferred to Bishop Burton College.

The grave of Bishop John Kaye (Bishop of Lincoln) in Riseholme churchyard is attributed to S.S.Teulon.

It is in the shape of a church. The brass railings round it are suffering from neglect.
