Arbury Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arbury Hall (grid reference SP335893) is a country house near Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England, and is the ancestral home of the Newdigate family, later the Newdigate-Newdegate and Fitzroy-Newdegate families.
The hall is built on the site of a former monastery in a mixture of Tudor and 18th-century Gothic architecture, the latter being the work of Sir Roger Newdigate.
The hall is set in 300 acres (1.2 km²) of parkland. The 19th-century author George Eliot (Mary Anne Evans) was the daughter of the land agent on the estate, and she was born on one of the estate farms in 1819.
