About Hanbury Hall

Hanbury Hall is a red brick stately home in Worcestershire, built around 1701 in the village of Hanbury.

The main range rises two storeys in the Queen Anne style and sits within open parkland.

Inside, a painted staircase and ceiling attributed to Sir James Thornhill are the house's standout feature.

The National Trust manages the hall and its gardens today.

History of Hanbury Hall

The hall was built around 1701 for Thomas Vernon, a successful lawyer whose family held the estate for generations afterwards. Its Grade I listing reflects the completeness of the early Georgian design, while the Orangery and Long Gallery pavilion ranges carry their own Grade II* listing.

Architecture of Hanbury Hall

Built of red brick in the Queen Anne style, the main range has two storeys under a symmetrical facade typical of the early 18th century. The Orangery and Long Gallery pavilions flank the house as separately listed structures.

Worth knowing

The painted staircase and ceiling inside are attributed to Sir James Thornhill, the artist known for his work at Greenwich and St Paul's Cathedral.

Gardens & grounds at Hanbury Hall

The grounds include a recreated early 18th-century garden with parterres, a fruit garden and the orangery, restored to reflect the hall's original period.
