Hams Hall

Hams Hall, a manor house which was built during the Imperial period.
Designed by James Wyatt for Charles Boyer Adderley, replacing an earlier manor house. The house was rebuilt after a fire in 1890, but in 1920 it was demolished, and the facade re-erected in a house called Bledisloe Lodge (Gloucestershire). The site is now occupied by a power station
In North Warwickshire, England, a bucolic manor estate, Hams Hall, was once found near the village of Lea Marston. From 1637 until its sale in 1920, Hams Hall was in the possession of the Adderley family. In Charles Bowyer Adderley’s day, the appearance of the main building was marked by its restoration and expansion in 1764, a project that presumably was executed by the English architect Joseph Pickford (1734-1782). Adderley inherited the manor from his extremely wealthy great-uncle, who bore the same name: Charles Bowyer Adderley (1743-1826).
