Ragley Hall in the parish of Arrow in Warwickshire is a stately home, located south of Alcester and eight miles (13 km) west of Stratford-upon-Avon.
[1] It became the home of Anne Conway and she was visited there by a number of notable people including Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Thomas Vaughan, Lilias Skene, Henry More, Elizabeth of Bohemia Christian Knorr von Rosenroth, the alchemist Ezekiel Foxcroft[2] and his mother the philosopher Elizabeth Foxcroft.
In 1912, following the death of Hugh Seymour, 6th Marquess of Hertford, the estate's trustees recommended that the house be demolished.
[7] In 1983, the painter Graham Rust completed a huge mural including pets, friends and family members which is known as "The Temptation" and is exhibited on the Southern staircase.
A news item adds that "Ragley also became the home of Lady Cremone in the BBC Two Drama Dancing on the Edge" in 2013.
