Weston Hall is a magnificent stately home with classical architecture, that sits amongst 1,000 acres of well kept gardens at Weston Park.
The landscaped park, surrounding the house, was laid out by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in the 1760's. The Italianate gardens adjoining the house were devised in the later C19.
The 17th-century Hall is a Grade I listed building (visit link)
The Orangery, Stable block, several other features of the estate and the gardens are all Grade II listed. (visit link)
The house was built in 1671 for Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham.
It was inherited in the 18th century, by Sir Henry Bridgeman, 5th Baronet, whose mother Lady Anne Bridgeman (née Newport) was a granddaughter of Lady Wilbraham. (visit link)
These are the waymarks included in this Lucky 7 that is centred at the walled garden.
