History & Ownership

In October 2003, Dee Ludlow purchased the Hall together with its hotel, restaurant and health club.  A well known and professional hotelier with thirty years' experience in hotel management particularly in several prestigious London properties.

The Hall's reception and dining rooms have now been refurbished to reflect their original grandeur, especially the impressive Grand Salon which has had the magnificent chandelier and Gold Leaf rose restored.
