Description:The Centre gained a worldwide reputation for its physiotherapy results, and Australia and Sweden sent persons to be trained there. Patshull Hall was built for Sir John Astley in the mid to late 1730s to designs by James Gibbs. The quadrangle was created by William Baker in about 1750. He also linked the wings to the main house. In 1765 the estate was sold to Sir George Pigot, Bt. In 1848 the Pigots sold the estate to William Legge, 4th Earl of Dartmouth. During the Second World War the Hall became an Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Hospital, and continued to be used as such by Wolverhampton Area Health Authority into the 1980s. In 1999-2000 it was renovated as a multi-purpose leisure facility, conference centre and holiday venue.
