Description:This steel engraving pictures Hagley Hall, Rugeley. Drawn by J.P. Neal, engraved by W. Watkins and hand coloured, it was published in 1831 by Jones & Co., London. At this time the Hon Robert Curzon M.P. occupied Hagley although it was his father Sir Assheton Curzon who had extensively remodelled the house and grounds. In 1919, the Hall was sold to the South Staffordshire Waterworks Company. In 1932 they demolished most of the property leaving just the centre section.
