Description:Pictured is the Drawing Room at Wolseley Hall photographed by Country Life and featured in their magazine in 1910.
The Wolseley family had lived on the estate since Norman times. In the eighteenth century Wolseley Hall was rebuilt, but suffered from a serious fire in the early 1950s. In 1954 the Hall was in a great state of disrepair and abandoned by the family, who took up residence in nearby Wolseley Park House. Wolseley Hall was demolished in 1966. The estate remained derelict until 1990, when the gardens were restored as Wolseley Garden Park. The site later became home to Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.
