Hurley Hall Douglas Hickman's Shell Guide to Warwickshire (1979) says: "Sombre Hurley Hall…is said to have been rebuilt in 1612, but from all appearances is Early Georgian. The home of Wildive Willington, one of Oliver Cromwell's henchmen, the house was used during the Commonwealth for local marriages." Listed Grade II and dated to about 1720. Partly moated. Gardens, seen here, remodelled. The associated farm beyond (in SP2596) has been partly redeveloped as premises for rural businesses.
