Warwick Hall
Warwick Hall is a large country house located on the banks of the River Eden at Warwick-on-Eden in Cumbria, England, United Kingdom.
History
The original Warwick Hall was occupied by the Warwick family until it ceased to exist when Ann Warwick died unmarried in 1774.[1] The Warwick family were catholic and attended to by Benedictine priests who lived in the hall.[2] The original hall was substantially rebuilt in 1828.[3]
After the original hall was destroyed by fire in 1931, a new hall was constructed in the neo-Georgian style by John Laing & Son and completed in 1933.[4] The rebuilding was commissioned by Colonel Guy Elwes and the hall remained in the Elwes family until Mrs Aileen Elwes (daughter of Charles Liddell) died in 1996.[5] It is now a country house hotel.[6]
