Peddimore Hall, Georgian manor house in Walmley, England
Peddimore Hall is a Georgian manor house built from red brick with two stories and red sandstone angle details. The building sits within Sutton Coldfield and is surrounded by a double moat.
William Wilson designed the building in 1659 for William Wood, a prominent Royalist of the time. Excavations in the 1970s revealed that people had occupied the site since 1281.
The hall reflects how wealthy families lived in the 17th century through its architectural choices and room layouts. The red brick walls and sandstone details reveal local building traditions and the craftsmanship of the period.
The site is bordered by a double moat that once protected livestock and supplied water to residents. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear as the grounds can be damp and uneven.
Archaeological digs uncovered evidence of human activity spanning many centuries at this location. These findings suggest people lived and worked here long before the current house was built.
