Ansty Hall
Ansty Hall is a 17th‑century country house in the village of Ansty, near Coventry and Rugby in Warwickshire. It is now a four‑star hotel run by Exclusive Hotels and is a Grade II* listed building set in eight acres of gardens.
The Manor of Ansty was owned by the Stanhope family from 1406. In 1506 it was sold to the Earl of Shrewsbury, who gave it to the Dean of St George’s, Windsor. It was leased until 1659, then bought by Richard Tayler. In 1678 Edward Tayler rebuilt the old manor as a two‑storey, seven‑bayed mansion.
After 1799 the property passed to his nephew Simon Adams, a barrister. In 1800 Adams added a third storey, a pediment over the central bays, and two one‑bay wings, creating a Carolean style entrance front. Later extensions were added in the mid and late 19th century. Henry Cadwallader Adams, who was Mayor of Coventry in 1836 and High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1837, lived there, as did his nephew, a famous children’s writer. Descendants stayed in residence until 1965.
The hall has since been restored and converted into a hotel. It was purchased by Exclusive Hotels in early 2023.
