Allesley Hall

This Hall, now a nursing home, was built on the site of a previous mansion in about 1910. Stonehouse Lane, in the foreground, leads to Allesley Village, joining the Birmingham Road by the Stone House SP3080 : Stone House, Allesley. A 1979 view: SP2980 : Allesley Hall, 1979

Allesley Hall in 1972

The ha-ha in front of the house is visible, but is topped by a fence for the safety of those who would not find it amusing to fall off a ha-ha. There is now more vegetation in the Hall garden and a crazy golf course in the field in the foreground (see SP2980 : Allesley Hall ). The conical shape to the left of the Hall is the dovecote.

Allesley Hall

The hall was built in 1910 and is now a residential care home. Comparing this view with one taken in 1972 (see SP2980 : Allesley Hall in 1972 ) shows that there are now more shrubs and there is a hedge in the foreground surrounding a crazy golf course. Coventry History Centre has a picture of the previous mansion on the site, taken from a similar direction.

Allesley Park walled garden

The garden was created about 200 years ago to provide fruit and vegetables for the Hall and at one time produced exotic fruits within its 1.4 acres. It was converted to an ornamental garden in the 20th century before being neglected but is now being restored as a kitchen garden by a group of volunteers. Taken from the path that runs behind Allesley Hall ( SP2980 : Allesley Hall ) and past the dovecote ( SP2980 : Dovecote, Allesley Park ).

Dovecote, Allesley Hall

The circular dovecote is approximately 200 years old and was contemporary with the Allesley Hall mansion which was demolished for the current Hall to be built in 1910. Inside, the brickwork has nesting cavities for up to 500 birds. As it is no longer in use for food provision, the bird entrances have been closed up to prevent pigeons colonising it. A grade II listed building.

Gateway to Allesley Hall walled garden

The garden was created about 200 years ago to provide fruit and vegetables for the Hall and at one time produced exotic fruits within its 1.4 acres. It was converted to an ornamental garden in the 20th century before being neglected but is now being restored as a kitchen garden by a group of volunteers. The garden is open once a month on average from spring to autumn. Finding the gate open on this sunny day was an unexpected bonus.
