New Place, Shirrell Heath, English country house in Shirrell Heath, England

New Place stands within 32 acres of woodland, featuring dark-red brick walls from Danehill and two-story central block with three-story wings.

Edwin Lutyens designed the residence for Mrs A. S. Franklyn in 1904, incorporating elements from a 17th-century Bristol mansion at a cost of £9,300.

The property maintains connections to William Shakespeare through the Franklyn family, with Henry Arden Franklyn's middle name referencing Shakespeare's mother's lineage.

The Grade I listed building functions as a hotel with 110 bedrooms, meeting spaces, leisure facilities including a gym, pool, and outdoor croquet lawn.

The Bristol Room contains a mahogany door from 1623, representing one of the earliest uses of this wood type in England.
