History

Sloley Hall is our family home and was built in 1815 and furnished over the next twenty years. Most of this has passed down through the generations and is still in use today. The library holds many old documents and bills relating to the early days of the house.

Sloley Hall sits in an estate of approximately 700 acres. There are about 3 acres of gardens surrounded by parkland studded with old trees, some of which pre-date the building of the house. The estate retains many of its original features, including thatched barns, cottages and most of the original field boundaries dating back at least 300 years.

The Hall itself was inherited by the present owners, Simon and Barbara Gorton in 1994. Since that time the house has been sympathetically renovated to preserve its Georgian charm. Historic houses require continued care and attention and work continues on the gardens, including the Victorian Greenhouse and park railings that surround the garden.

The Hall and surrounding estate have been recognised by the Government as of outstanding national importance .
