Longford Hall

Longford Hall is a Grade II* listed country house rebuilt between 1794 and 1797 with architectural features designed by Joseph Bonomi. The structure reflects late 18th-century building practices and design ideals of that period.

A manor house occupied this site from the 13th century until it was destroyed during fighting in 1644. Reconstruction came roughly 150 years later with contemporary design standards, completed between 1794 and 1797.

The house functions as a junior boarding facility and sports center for a local school, showing how a stately home adapts to serve education and community needs. You can observe the blend of heritage preservation with active daily use by students.

The building sits in Church Aston and is registered as a protected monument in the national heritage list. Plan your visit in advance as the site operates as an active school facility with potential access restrictions.

The estate faced two sieges during the English Civil War and was surrounded by military forces under a prominent commander of that conflict. The final siege ended through negotiated terms rather than assault.
