Bosworth Hall, Country house in Husbands Bosworth, England
Bosworth Hall comprises two connected buildings: the Old Hall in Tudor style with five gables and a Georgian structure built around 1790. The complex also includes a Victorian Gothic chapel erected in the park in 1873, demonstrating the use of different architectural styles across several centuries.
The original Norman structure was owned by the de Stoke family from 1293 to 1537 before undergoing substantial changes under Erasmus Smith from 1570 to 1616. These transformations during the Elizabethan period shaped the building as it stands today.
The chapel within the park grounds shows how country estates provided for worship and reflects the bond between the main house and its surrounding lands.
The estate comprises two separate residences, with the Old Hall functioning as an independent dwelling following post-war renovations by the Constable-Maxwell family. Visitors should note that access may be limited, so it is advisable to arrange visits in advance.
During World War II, the park contained an army camp housing American troops before their deployment to the Battle of Arnhem. This makes the location a significant site in the wartime history of the area.
