The only thing I know about it is that it used to be used by the TA.

Hi John - have a look at my website - no much info, but there is a picture. I'm sorry I don't know the origin of the image. I must have downloaded it from the internet somewhere, but failed to record from where. Looks like a postcard to me.

Hi John
Tennal Hall is shown in the OS 1890 map at
https://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55193&sheetid=10090&ox=494&oy=2458&zm=1&czm=1&x=85&y=363 The 1901 map is almost identical (though the boulders around it have disappeared, or were not thought worth including )
According to “Harborne, A history” (Edward Chitham 2004, from which the following is abstracted) Tennal Hall in medieval times was known as a “ capital messuage”, and was described as one of the most important houses in Harborne. There is a legend that queen Elizabeth passed through harborne and stayed at Tessall Hall on the way to Dudley. If this did occur it would have been 27th july 1573 . in 1593 it was occupied by the Milward family, who were yeoman. Whether they were there in 1573 is not known. House was modified and rebuilt and divided into two parts in the 1600s.
Sometime before 1698 the occupant, Richard Bradley married the vicar of Harborne’s daughter, mary. For part of the 18th century it was occupied by Job Freeth, overseer of the poor, a very large man.In the early 19th century the farm was farmed by Joseph Pearman
