Brooksby Hall, Manor house in Brooksby, England

Brooksby Hall features coursed squared ironstone with limestone dressing and Swithland slate roofs, forming an H-shaped architectural layout across 31 acres of grounds.

The Villiers family owned the estate from 1210 to 1711, during which time Sir John Villiers enclosed four farms in 1492, causing local residents to leave.

The manor served as a naval convalescent home during World War II under Red Cross management before becoming an agricultural training facility.

The hall functions as part of Brooksby Melton College, providing spaces for administrative offices, conferences, banquets, and wedding celebrations.

George Villiers, who became the 1st Duke of Buckingham, was born at Brooksby Hall in 1592 during the family's five-century ownership.
