Hasfield Court

Hasfield Court is a manor house situated on the west bank of the River Severn, displaying Tudor paneling alongside architectural features added during later periods. The building integrates these varied styles into a cohesive structure.

The earlier structure was a medieval manor owned by the Pauncefoot family starting around 1200, which was subsequently replaced. A major reconstruction took place in the late 17th century, carried out by John Parker.

The house holds significance for its connection to composer Edward Elgar, whose creative work drew inspiration from the Baker family members who resided here. This musical heritage remains an important part of the estate's local reputation.

The estate holds Grade II* listed status, which requires heritage approval for any modifications to preserve its historical character. Visitors should confirm in advance whether the property is open for viewing.

William Meath Baker, a former owner of the property, served as High Sheriff of Gloucestershire in 1896 while actively supporting the arts in the region. His role in the local community contributed to the cultural importance of the estate.
