Mere Old Hall

The house was constructed in brick and stone that has been whitewashed and rendered, roofed with tiles and slates, and is in two and three storeys.

[1] Also separately listed at Grade II are the kitchen garden walls and attached sheds.

[3] An earlier house on the site was rebuilt in the 17th century by Sir Peter Brooke MP, a member of the Brooke family of Norton Priory, who had bought the house in 1652 from the Mere family.

Later a bow window with a dome was built as an entrance, and later still pavilions were added.

[4] In 1914 William Princep Langford-Brooke decided to move back to the Old Hall after renovating the interior in the Adam style.
