Peddimore Hall

[2] A building on site is first mentioned in 1361 when John de Arden was granted a licence for a private chapel.

[2] Peddimore Hall is encircled by a double moat, which forms a rectangular site.

A double moat was often used as a status symbol during the time, however, it was also practical in preventing access from thieves, enclosing livestock and also provided water for fires or animals.

[4] When World War II began, the government commissioned a photographic record of the house and grounds for if it were destroyed by bombing.

Although a large bomb did explode in nearby Walmley Ash Lane, the house was not damaged in the war.
