Ragley Hall Ragley Hall was designed by Robert Hooke in 1680, one of England's first Palladian style houses.  The interior includes some fine plaster ceilings and designs by James Wyatt dating from the late 18th century.  The house is situated in 24 acres of garden and a wider parkland landscaped by none other than 'Capability' Brown.  All this could easily have been lost as the house was under threat of demolition in the 1960s.  During World War II the house was a hospital for the American military. This along with the house being neglected for many years resulted in it being in a sorry state after the war.  The house was saved by the 8th Marquess and Marchioness of Hertford.  The house is now the home of the 9th Marquess and his family and is the venue for weddings, concerts and various other events.
