Himley Hall, Georgian country house in Himley, England
Himley Hall is a Georgian mansion built with classical architectural features from the 18th century. The building sits within expansive landscaped grounds that include a lake, waterfalls, and a series of connected pools.
The mansion was built in the 18th century by John Ward to replace an earlier medieval manor on the site. This transformation marked the shift from an older structure to a contemporary country residence.
The house displays collections of artworks and historical objects that visitors encounter throughout its rooms. These items reflect the tastes and interests of those who once lived here.
The South Wing features a coffee lounge and galleries where visitors can find refreshments and seating. Dogs are welcome in designated areas, making it comfortable for all kinds of guests.
King Edward VIII spent his final weekend here before his abdication from the British throne in 1936. This pivotal moment in royal history makes the house particularly memorable for many visitors.
