Packington Hall

Packington Hall is a red brick mansion in Great Packington surrounded by gardens enclosed by 17th-century walls and a large serpentine lake formed from former mill ponds. The property now operates as a conference and event venue.

The hall was built in 1693 for Sir Clement Fisher and passed to the Earl of Aylesford family through marriage in 1729, where it remains today. A major fire in 1979 caused significant damage, leading to complete restoration afterwards.

The interiors display ceiling paintings by John Francis Rigaud and architectural features shaped by Italian architect Joseph Bonomi in 1772. These artistic elements remain visible throughout the rooms today.

The property is accessible only by arrangement for conferences and events through wrought-iron gates given by tenants in 1935. Visitors should plan ahead, as the house does not open regularly to the public.

The mansion survived a devastating fire in 1979 and was fully restored afterwards while preserving all original architectural features. This careful restoration work allowed the property to maintain its historical character despite the destruction.
