Fillol's Hall, Manor house in Kelvedon, Essex, England.
Fillol's Hall is a country house in Kelvedon, Essex, featuring a nine-bay structure with classical elements including a portico added in 1825. The building was constructed around 1715 and displays early 18th-century design with later Georgian refinements.
The Filliol family held the estate from the 12th century after arriving with William the Conqueror. Sir Anthony Abdy commissioned a new house around 1715, which later incorporated classical architectural elements.
The Felix Hall Vase, found near Rome and acquired by Lord Western in 1825, represents the connection between English estates and Roman antiquities.
The estate is privately owned and closed to visitors today, despite its protected historical status. The ruins are visible from outside, but the grounds cannot be entered.
The house was destroyed and burned in 1941 during World War II through British Army activities. These wartime events left it as a roofless ruin with unstable structures visible today.
