3 unusual facts about Berry Hall Farm


Berry Hall Farm

Berry Hall Farm is still in existence today and has significantly outlived 'New Berry Hall' which was demolished in the late 1980s.

Originally named 'Berry Hall' and also known as 'Old' Berry Hall, it was renamed Berry Hall 'Farm' by Joseph Gillott, owner of the Berry Hall estate when he built himself an opulent new home on the estate of the original Hall in the 1870s.

New Berry Hall

Gillott and his family lived in this opulent luxury until his death in 1904 whereupon the estate, which comprised Berry Hall Farm, 'New' Berry Hall, Henshaw Hall and Grimshaw Hall in nearby Knowle, as well as several hundred acres, was sold at auction.
