About Aston Hall

Aston Hall has watched proudly over Birmingham for more than 400 years – not only is it one of the last great houses built in the Jacobean style, it’s also said to be one of the most haunted buildings in the UK.

Designed by John Thorpe and built by Sir Thomas Holte between 1618 to 1635, it is packed to the rafters with architectural gems and historical treasures, including the breath-taking Long Gallery and the great oak staircase, which still shows the battle scars of the English Civil War.

Visitors in the a great hall with stone floor, wood panelled wall and ornate ceiling. A large fireplace is behind the visitors.

What to see

There are over 30 rooms to explore and a history spanning 400 years.
