Hagley Hall

Hagley Hall is a Palladian country house in Worcestershire, England, with a symmetrical stone facade and four corner towers topped by pyramidal roofs. The building sits within a deer park that covers hundreds of acres, surrounded by woodland trails and open lawns.

The house was built in the 1750s for the Lyttelton family, who lived on the estate for generations. A fire in 1925 destroyed much of the interior, but the family restored the rooms afterward.

The interior of Hagley Hall contains Rococo plasterwork by Francesco Vassali, along with Chippendale furniture and portraits by Van Dyck and Joshua Reynolds.

The estate lies about 12 miles (19 kilometers) west of Birmingham and can be reached via several motorways. The paths through the park are mostly level, but sturdy footwear helps on the lawns in wet weather.

In 1606, two men involved in the Gunpowder Plot were captured on the estate. This event links the house to one of the most famous assassination attempts in English history.
