Explore the History of Prestwold
History of the Library
Prestwold Hall was remodelled by architect William Burn in 1842, who wanted to highlight the grandeur of the house through the popular neoclassical style.
One of the ways in which he achieved this was through clever use of constructional steel, which allowed him to create the large, impressive rooms that you can find at Prestwold Hall today. The Library extends nearly the entire length of the house when the grand doors that separate it from the Dining Room are opened, connecting the two rooms.
Prestwold Hall was designed in the style of an Italian classical villa and, as such, Burn installed the magnificent windows that rise from floor level and open onto the garden.
The ornate wooden doors and bookcases in the Library were made for George Hussey Packe (1846–1908) by furniture makers Gillows of Lancaster and London in 1875.
Stunning Gardens for your Ceremony
Outdoor Ceremonies
If you would prefer to have your wedding ceremony outside, our carefully manicured gardens offer the perfect backdrop for spring and summer weddings.
Prestwold Hall’s outdoor ceremonies take place in our Georgian gazebo, surrounded by sweeping views of the park.
St Andrew's Church
Church Weddings
For those who prefer the sanctity and romance of a church wedding, the Prestwold Estate is home to the 13th century Church of St Andrew.
Located just over 100 yards from the house and accessible via a picturesque walk through the gardens, you can say your vows at the church while also enjoying the grandeur of Prestwold Hall.
