Hagley Hall

 

Hagley Hall and Park is a wonderful example of 18th century English Architecture. Boasting 350 acres of deer park with its own church, the hall houses Van Dyke paintings, fine Chippendale furniture and Rococco plasterwork. The property once belonged to George 1st Lord Lyttelton who was secretary to the Prince of Wales. The hall was completed in 1760.
In 1925 a terrible fire destroyed a large section of the property and much of its contents. However, the damage was repaired and the hall restored to its former glory. Today the hall is home to Lord and Lady Cobham who own the residence which is used as their family home. The hall also caters for conferences, business meetings and events throughout the year. No trip to the West Midlands is complete without a visit to this fine example of architecture and glorious parkland.
