Dumbleton Hall

After the death of Sir Richard Cocks in the late 18th century the Hall fell into disrepair and was eventually demolished c1780.

In 1830 the agriculturalist Edward Holland employed George Stanley Repton to build the present Hall using the local Cotswold stone.

During the Second World War the Hall was allegedly considered as a suitable alternative venue for the House of Lords.

The Hall became a private hotel in 1959 when it was purchased by the Post Office Fellowship of Remembrance for the benefit of its members for the sum of £180,000.

In early 2021 The Post Office Fellowship of Remembrance sold Dumbleton Hall Hotel with the profits being donated to Post Office and BT related charities, to continue its mission to provide a living memorial for those workers who died the two World Wars.
