Aston Hall, House museum in Aston, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
The Grade I listed Jacobean mansion features elaborate wooden staircases, grand reception rooms, and period-furnished chambers across three floors spanning 30 rooms.
Built between 1618 and 1635 for Sir Thomas Holte, the hall endured significant damage during the English Civil War when Parliamentarian forces attacked in 1643.
The Long Gallery houses an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, and textiles that represent Birmingham's social and architectural evolution through four centuries.
The museum opens Friday through Sunday from 11:00 to 16:00, with adult tickets priced at £11 and reduced rates for children aged 3-15 at £5.50.
The oak staircase retains visible cannonball damage from the 1643 siege, marking one of the few physical remnants of Civil War combat in an English country house.
