Dorfold Hall, English country house in Acton, England
The two-story mansion features red brick construction with stone dressings, large windows, and a recessed center flanked by two small wings.
Ralph Wilbraham commissioned the construction of Dorfold Hall between 1616 and 1621 on land purchased by his brother, Sir Roger Wilbraham, in 1602.
The estate functions as a house museum, preserving historical artifacts and architectural elements that demonstrate the evolution of English country living through centuries.
Located on Chester Road, the Grade I listed building opens its doors for guided tours, weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations throughout the year.
During World War II, the hall provided shelter for Liverpool refugees until 1940, when the park transformed into a military camp for Canadian soldiers.
