Sandon Hall, Country house in Sandon and Burston, England.
Sandon Hall is a country house in Staffordshire with a neo-Jacobean design completed in the mid-1800s. The facade displays nine bays with a central carriage entrance, rounded doorway, balustrade, and corner towers topped with ogee roofs.
The current building was constructed in 1852 by architect William Burn following a fire that destroyed the previous house in 1848. The new structure replaced the earlier mansion on the same location.
A 75-foot column stands in the grounds as a memorial to Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, commissioned by the first Earl of Harrowby in 1806.
The estate spans 400 acres of parkland and gardens with areas open to visitors on designated occasions. The grounds are used for events, so availability for casual visits varies by season.
A tall stone column in the grounds honors Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, commissioned by an earl in 1806. The property also contains a shrine remembering Spencer Perceval, the only British Prime Minister to be assassinated.
