Sodington Hall is a small early 19th century country house at Mamble, Worcestershire. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
The manor of Sodington came to the Blount family (later Blount Baronets) in the 14th century when Walter Blount married Johanna de Sodington.[2] The manor house occupied a moated site and was said to have four drawbridges. The Blounts were Roman Catholics and strongly supported the Crown during the English Civil War and their house was badly damaged by Parliamentary forces. Sir Walter Blount Bt was imprisoned by Parliament in 1645. His estate was sequestered and was only recovered by his family after the Reformation.[2]
The Blounts then lived at nearby Mawley, Shropshire where Sir Edward Blount, a wealthy coal owner and iron master, built a substantial mansion, Mawley Hall, in about 1730. The Sodington manor house was demolished about 1807 and was replaced on the same site by the present brick built plain Georgian style, three storeyed, three bayed house.[1][3]
