Swinfen Hall

Swinfen Hall is an 18th-century mansion in the Swinfen and Packington area featuring symmetrical Georgian architecture with tall sash windows and refined stone details throughout. The building stands on substantial grounds and is now protected as a listed monument.

The residence was built in 1757 when Samuel Swynfen commissioned architect Benjamin Wyatt for its design. For generations afterward it served as a family home for the Swinfen and later Swinfen Broun families.

The building represents the architectural preferences of wealthy English landowners during the Georgian period, emphasizing grandeur and formal design principles.

This mansion is located in the Lichfield area of Staffordshire and can be reached from nearby towns. Visitors should check access conditions beforehand as the property is not always open to the public.

In the mid-to-late 1800s this estate became the focus of an important legal battle over its inheritance. The case raised critical questions about lawyers' professional responsibilities in Britain.
