The 19th-century country house of Sir John Eardley-Wilmot

Berkswell Hall is a 19th-century country house in Berkswell, located in the West Midlands. It is a Grade II* listed building that has served as a private residence, a school, and now a collection of residential apartments.

The manor was granted to Thomas Marow of Hoxton in 1556, and his descendants remained in residence for six generations. During this time, the family built a new manor house around 1670. Significant changes occurred in the 19th century, with John Eardley Wilmot carrying out major alterations in 1808 before the property was substantially rebuilt in its present form by Sir John Eardley-Wilmot in 1815.

Between 1843 and 1860, the house was occupied by a school before being restored as a residence in 1861. In 1888, it was sold to Joshua Hirst Wheatley, whose family served as High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1896 and 1934.

In 1984, the estate was sold for development and the house was converted into residential apartments. The stable block was also converted into houses, while the surrounding land remains privately owned by the Berkswell Estate and the Wheatley family.
