Chateau Impney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chateau Impney is an imposing 19th century house near Droitwich, England. It was built for industrialist John Corbett in the style of a Louis XIII French chateau. Corbett's wife, Hannah Eliza O'Meara, was of mixed French/ Irish descent; he built the house in the 1870s, at a cost of GBP 247,000, to satisfy her nostalgia for Paris. Sadly, she never lived in the house, preferring one of Corbett's properties in Towyn, North Wales.
In 1945, the house was purchased by Ralph Edwards who restored it and developed it as a hotel. As of 2005, it remains a hotel.
