OUR HISTORY

When the Dominicans left the Estate in 1988 the Hall fell into a state of disrepair and was boarded up. In 1999 the Hall was purchased by the Whorton family who were determined to return the building and the Estate to its former glory. The Whorton family still own the Estate today. They chose to use the original name of Hawkesyard and set about the restoration of the building, partly by using photographs from Shugbrough hall. The transformation of the Hall and outer buildings was completed in 2007.
With Hawkesyard Estate again unified, it is the perfect venue for weddings, conferences and events.

OUR STORY

Set on the edge of the Cannock Chase countryside lies Armitage Park, the history of which can be traced back to 1270 when local gentry used the land for hunting. In 1337 Simon de Rugeley commissioned the construction on Hawkesyard Hall but by 1660 the hall lay in ruins. It wasn't until 1759, when the estate was purchased by Nathaniel Lister, that the hall really took shape. Lister, a poet, author and founder of the Census, had married Martha Fletcher, a Lichfield heiress, and they rebuilt the Hall in its present location.
