Maer Hall, Grade II listed country house in Maer, England
The stone mansion rises above a small lake, featuring traditional architectural elements with a north entrance lodge and south gatehouse.
William de Mere owned the first manor house at this location in 1282, while the current structure was constructed around 1680.
Charles Darwin frequently visited Maer Hall, where he conducted geological studies and proposed marriage to Emma Wedgwood in the 1830s.
The building remains a private residence without public access, maintaining its original function as a family estate in Staffordshire.
Landscape designer Capability Brown modified the lake and pleasure grounds during the 18th century, integrating water features into the estate.
