Seckford Hall

It is built of local brick in two storeys to an E-shaped plan with a 9-bay frontage.

[2] A wartime stay after leaving school in 1915 inspired a teenage Enid Blyton.

In May 1940 Sir Ralph Harwood purchased the neglected building from a demolition contractor, but it was soon afterwards commandeered by the Army for the duration of the Second World War.

The property was returned after the war and early in 1946 Sir Ralph began to restore and modernise the property using materials rescued from other stately homes and churches.

The hotel is said to contain furniture that was once used in Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, including the chair that King Henry VII is said to have died on.
