Walton Hall, Warwickshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walton Hall is a 19th century country mansion at Walton, near Wellesbourne, Warwickshire now in use as an hotel. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The Manor of Walton was owned by the Lestrange family from the 15th century. In 1541 Barbara Lestrange, heiress of Walton married Robert Mordaunt. Their son Lestrange Mordaunt was created 1st Baronet Mordaunt in 1611.
In 1858 Sir Charles Mordaunt, 10th Baronet retained architect Sir George Gilbert Scott to design a new mansion house in the Gothic Revival style. The house was completed in 1862.
The house has been restored and converted to use as an hotel. The adjacent 1860s stable block (Grade II listed) is time-share accommodation.
