Annesley Hall, English country house in Annesley, England
Annesley Hall is a 13th-century country house in Nottinghamshire now in a state of decay with its roof missing and windows boarded. The surrounding grounds reveal the extent of what was once a substantial estate.
The estate was founded in the 13th century under the Annesley family and later passed to the Chaworth family through marriage. This connection shaped the property for several generations and linked two influential local families.
The name comes from the Annesley family who shaped the estate for centuries. Today visitors can sense how important this country house was to the local community and its social fabric.
The hall can be viewed from outside via the Old Church and Churchyard or from the A611 Annesley Bypass. The northern side of the bypass offers the clearest view of the structure from the road.
Mary Chaworth's son, George Chaworth-Musters, spent years living with the Tehuelche people in South America and became known as 'The King of Patagonia'. This unlikely connection ties the English estate to the history of the South American plains.
