About

Kelvedon Hall stands as a remarkable testament to English architectural and social heritage, rooted in a medieval manor site and transformed through centuries of distinguished ownership. Originally acquired by the Wright family in 1538, the current red brick structure—built in a distinctive U-plan—comprises a three-storey central block connected to two-storey pavilions, embodying the architectural elegance of its era.

In 1937, Henry 'Chips' Channon, a prominent socialite, purchased the estate, marking a significant chapter in its history. Channon's stewardship brought notable enhancements, including a uniquely styled 'Neo-Austrian-Baroque' swimming pool pavilion designed by William Kellner and entrance lodges created by Wellesley and Wells. The interior reflects this rich narrative, featuring Adamesque-style rooms from the 1780s, a John Churchill ceiling mural, and mid-1960s redesigns by David Hicks.

Recognised for its historical and architectural significance, Kelvedon Hall is a Grade I listed building, with additional structures like its lodges, orangery, and stable block also receiving heritage protection. The hall remains a private residence, continuing the Channon family's legacy and serving as a living document of English social history. Its historic Rose Garden has found new life as a venue for opera and theatrical events, further enriching the estate's cultural significance and connection to the arts.

Private tours, and further details, will be coming soon.
