Where to Go In WorcestershireYou are in: Hereford and Worcester > Places > Where to Go In Worcestershire > Harvington Hall  Harvington HallHarvington Hall is a moated medieval and Elizabethan manor-house, restored in the 1920s.
The Elizabethan House was built in the 1580s by Humphrey Pakington. In 1647 it was pillaged by Roundhead troops. In 1696 the Hall passed to the Throckmortons of Coughton Court in Warwickshire, who owned it until 1923. During the 19th Century it was stripped of furniture and panelling and the shell was left almost derelict. In 1923 it was restored by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham. The Hall is situated three miles south-east of Kidderminster, about half a mile east of the A450 Birmingham to Worcester road and about half-a-mile north of the A448 from Kidderminster to Bromsgrove. last updated: 19/08/2008 at 13:13 SEE ALSOYou are in: Hereford and Worcester > Places > Where to Go In Worcestershire > Harvington Hall
