1878 – Haseley Manor, Warwickshire

Perspective including ground plan published in The Building News, July 16th 1875. The present building, a fine example of grand Victorian craftsmanship, dates from 1878 when Alfred Hewlett, a Lancashire coal merchant, purchased the estate and extended an earlier structure. The family remained at Haseley until 1940. In use as children’s homes and schools. By 1954 The Manor had become a staff training centre for the British Motor Corporation. Since then it has been a business and conference centre, now subdivided for housing.
