Apley Hall, Country house in Stockton, England
The Gothic Revival mansion features battlemented parapets, mullioned windows, and a central staircase sourced from Shobdon Court and Wigmore Hall in Herefordshire.
The Whitmore family maintained ownership of Apley Hall from 1572 until 1867, when ironmaster William Orme Foster purchased the estate for £500,000.
The architecture of Apley Hall influenced P.G. Wodehouse's creation of Blandings Castle, which became the setting for numerous literary works.
The main building now contains five separate mansion houses, with additional residences located in the converted two-story stable block surrounding a courtyard.
The property's orangery underwent transformation in the 1930s to accommodate what records indicate was the first private indoor swimming pool in Britain.
