Armitage Park, English country house in Armitage, Staffordshire, United Kingdom
The Gothic Revival mansion stands on extensive grounds with gardens and features architectural elements characteristic of 19th-century British aristocratic residences.
Nathaniel Lister constructed the house around 1760, and Mary Spode acquired it in 1838, implementing substantial modifications to the property in 1839.
The property transformed into the first Roman Catholic conference center in the United Kingdom under the management of the Dominican Order.
The restored Hawkesyard Hall currently functions as a venue for weddings, conferences, and events with modern facilities and extensive parking.
Helen Gulson reported seeing visions of Mary Spode in the gardens, leading to the construction of a church with its altar positioned at the exact location.
