A large village, Hagley is
best-known for the Palladian mansion Hagley Hall
that was built for George, 1st Lord Lyttleton, in
the late 18th century. In the panelled Barrel Room
two of the gunpowder plotters were caught before
being hung, draw and quartered. In the splendid
350-acre landscaped park surrounding the house are
Gothic ruins, an Ionic temple and a rotunda. The
Hall is now exclusively used for events such as
conferences and themed events. Nearby is a popular
falconry centre. |
