Once a prosperous manor, Wrottesley Park was held by the Wrottesley family until the estate was put up for sale and its assets fragmented in the 1960s. Today the area comprises a private golf course, orchards, a 'pick your own fruit' farm, a lost medieval village and a moated manor house.
In 1696, a grand new hall was built here but was sadly destroyed by a fire in 1897, which destroyed valuable items such as a set of ancient English Chronicles and a first folio of Shakespeare's works. In 1923, the hall was rebuilt but on a much smaller scale.
