Pooley Hall, English country house in Polesworth, England

The manor house features castellated brick construction, a former chapel, and sits near the Coventry Canal, which flows within 20 meters of the building.

Sir Thomas Cockayne constructed Pooley Hall in 1509, making it one of the first brick-built manor houses in England with castle-like features.

The residence served as a refuge for Sir Aston Cockayne, a notable Cavalier and Catholic, during the English Interregnum following the Civil War.

The Grade II* listed building stands adjacent to Pooley Country Park, which spans 62.5 hectares of the former estate and mining grounds.

The property witnessed a transformation from noble residence to industrial site when coal mining operations began on the estate in 1850.
