Wychnor Hall, Grade II listed country house in Wychnor, England
The early 18th-century Wychnor Hall features architectural elements from Queen Anne's period and includes extensions from the mid-19th century modifications.
King James I selected Wychnor Hall for his royal accommodations during visits to Staffordshire in 1621 and 1624, marking its status among noble residences.
The manor maintained a tradition initiated by Sir Philip de Somerville in 1338, offering bacon to couples who remained married without disputes for over a year.
The building now functions as Wychnor Park Country Club, following its transformation from a private residence after 1981.
A wooden effigy replaced the original flitch of bacon at Wychnor Hall after very few married couples managed to claim the traditional prize.
