Walton Hall, Victorian country house in Wellesbourne and Walton, England
Walton Hall is a Victorian country house in Wellesbourne and Walton, England, now operating as a hotel. The building displays stonework with pointed arches and turrets that recall a medieval chapel.
Sir Charles Mordaunt commissioned the house in 1862 on foundations from the Elizabethan period. Entertainer Danny La Rue later acquired the property and funded major renovations during the 1980s.
Locals know the estate today as a wedding venue that specializes in celebrations held in the high-ceilinged reception rooms and across the lawn. Guests often walk through the grounds, which offer a quiet setting away from the surrounding countryside.
Rooms are spread across several floors and some areas require stairs. The entrance is near the parking area, and visitors can walk through the gardens or explore the public spaces during daytime hours.
The library retains original Victorian wood paneling that survived later renovations. One of the drawing rooms displays portraits of former residents that recall the long history of the estate.
