Hooton Pagnell Hall, Medieval manor house in Hooton Pagnell, England.
Hooton Pagnell Hall is a limestone manor house with an L-shaped layout and slate roofing in Hooton Pagnell, England. Its nine-bay garden front is marked by a Tudor-style arched entrance.
The building started as a gatehouse in the 14th century and underwent major remodeling between 1894 and 1904. Earlier changes during the 18th century prepared the way for this later transformation.
The main staircase came from a palace in Coventry and was moved here during the 19th century. It shows how English country houses preserved and reused architectural elements from other buildings.
The hall remains a private residence and is open to the public only on scheduled open days or through guided tours. Check ahead to learn when visits are possible.
During World War I, the building served as an auxiliary military hospital under Julia Warde-Aldam's leadership. This transformation shows how English country houses contributed to national needs during wartime.
