Worsley New Hall, Victorian estate in Worsley, England

The Elizabethan Gothic mansion featured three stories, symmetrical main block, family wing, servant wing and tower built with Hollington stone.

Francis Egerton, 1st Earl of Ellesmere commissioned architect Edward Blore to construct the mansion, completing the project in 1846 for £100,000.

Queen Victoria made two visits to the estate, during her second stay in 1857 she planted a North American giant redwood tree.

The estate now functions as RHS Garden Bridgewater, following extensive renovation by the Royal Horticultural Society that opened in 2021.

During World War I, the mansion served as a hospital for injured soldiers before its contents were auctioned due to death duties.
