Batchwood Hall, Manor house in St Albans, England.

Batchwood Hall stands as a substantial Queen Anne style manor house constructed of red brick with ornate architectural details and symmetrical windows.

Edmund Beckett, 1st Baron Grimthorpe commissioned the construction of this manor house in 1874, incorporating the prototype of Westminster's Great Clock.

The building evolved from a private residence to become a central part of St Albans community life, hosting events, functions, and serving as a nightclub.

The property contains an 18-hole golf course designed by John Henry Taylor, along with sports facilities and spaces for hosting weddings and celebrations.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the manor transformed into a vaccination center, demonstrating its adaptability to serve community health needs.
