1840 Merevale Hall
The construction of Merevale Hall was compete around 1840, replacing a former manor house. The building was designed by architect Edward Blore.
The Hall was placed on the end of the a thin peninsular high above Atherstone and loomed over the town. In modern times Merevale Hall is still clearly viewable from throughout the surrounding area, despite the growth of the surrounding forest.
Merevale Hall is Gothic in style and features embattled towers and walls.
The building makes for an imposing and impressive sight when viewed from below and afair. Simply it has a spooky, even scary look about it.
The books and diaries of Sir William Dugale (Garter King of Arms) are still believed to be housed there.
Merevale Hall remains the property of the Dugdale family and has proportedly been a continuous family home since its opening.
Merevale Hall is not open to the public.

We have just returned from a holiday in Hartshill and went on the Atherstone Country Walk along the towpath but could not see the hall.
It is a fascinating little town and we will return but I wanted a view of the building so I used the website.
