Abberton Hall is a small country house in Worcestershire, England. It is an irregular two-storey house, faced with modern brick, with at its core the timber-framed house of the Sheldon family, with a brick facade and a massive stone chimneybreast (dated 1619). In a garden loggia there are murals of 1937 by Benjamin Gibbon (born 1914), whose home this was.
