Hanbury Hall

Hanbury Hall is a mansion in Worcestershire built by the wealthy chancery lawyer Thomas Vernon in the early 18th century, whose family fortune had grown to a peak over generations in the parish., but it was Thomas through his successful legal practice who added most to estates, which amounted to nearly 8,000 acres in his successor Bowater Vernon’s day. Today the hall is in the hands of the National Trust.

Hanbury Hall is thought to stand on the site of the previous mansion, Spernall Hall. (Read more)
