Castle Bromwich Hall

[1] The Hall was built between 1557 and 1585 by Sir Edward Devereux, 1st Baronet of Castle Bromwich, MP for Tamworth in Staffordshire.

The Hall and Long Gallery were panelled with dark oak timber, and the dining room with pitch pine from the United States.

Built into the high garden wall was a brick open air cold water bath dated 1733.

[citation needed] The garden maze with 6 ft high holly hedges was a mirror image of that at Hampton Court.

The Hall was sold in 2007 to Theodore Alexander, furniture designers and manufacturers who planned to restore the property and open their European showroom there in 2008.

In 2009, Castle Bromwich Hall was put up for sale, with the estate agents Knight Frank, with an asking price of £5 million.
