Brocksford Hall

Brocksford Hall is a country house about one mile (1.6 km) east of Doveridge village, in the south west corner of Derbyshire, England.

[1] The house was built in 1893 for Charles William Jervis Smith and designed by the Chester architectural practice of Douglas and Fordham.

[1][2] The headmaster of Birkdale School, Mr John Gibson Roberts, moved Birkdale pupils evacuated to Derbyshire during the Second World War into Brocksford Hall after the war.

The hall and original outbuildings were converted into private apartments and houses.

[4] The house was built in Jacobethan style and constructed in Ruabon red brick with much blue brick diapering and Hollington stone dressings.
