Great Barr Hall

The Great Barr Hall stands as a two-story, nine-bay mansion constructed in 1777, featuring Gothic Revival architecture with decorative elements and extended wings.

The Scott family owned the estate from the mid-17th century until 1911, when it was sold to a hospital board and transformed into St Margaret's Mental Hospital.

During the late 18th century, the hall served as a meeting place for the Lunar Society, gathering influential intellectuals and industrialists of the era.

The estate encompasses 105 hectares of parkland with two lakes, walking paths, and woodland areas accessible through multiple entrance points along Chapel Lane.

The property contains both an Upper and Lower Lake, connected by a cascade with stepping stones that were originally fed by the Holbrook stream system.
