The entrance to Warfield Hall

Warfield Hall is a Grade II listed building at Warfield in Berkshire.

History

The house was built in the 1840s and, following a serious fire, was rebuilt in the 1870s by William King.[1] In 1890 King's daughter, Georgina, married Field Marshal Sir Charles Brownlow who moved into the house.[2] The house was extended in the late 19th century and altered again in the early 20th century.[3] In 1939 the house was acquired by Sir Thomas Sopwith[1] who used it as his home until the house was sold at auction in 1952.[4] In the mid 1970s the house was used as the American Military HQ in the film The Eagle Has Landed.[5] It is now the property of Sheik Ali Juffali, a director of E. A. Juffali and Brothers.[6]
