Hardwick Hall

Hardwick Hall is a grand early Georgian house with Grade II* status, built on a fresh site in 1720 by John Kynaston, who moved there from Hordley Hall.

It was the birthplace of the Shropshire Highwayman, Wild Humphrey Kynaston, second son of Sir Roger Kynaston. Direct Kynaston family descendants still live at Hardwick Hall today.

The Hall has three storeys and a cellar, with villas flanking both the east and west sides. The whole faces south overlooking parkland while, to the north, there is a lake.

(Note: this is not the National Trust’s Hardwick Hall).

Tours cover ground floor rooms, family history, and views of the outside of the hall. Please note that interior photography is not permitted, we cannot accommodate children under the age of 14, and young people aged between 14 and 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
