Heckfield Place


Heckfield Place is an 18th-centuryGeorgian country estate in Heckfield, Hampshire, England.

The original manor house, now a Grade II listed building was the home of Lord Eversley, Charles Shaw-Lefevre, the second longest serving speaker of the House of Commons. Upon Lord Eversley's death in 1888, the estate was occupied by Lieutenant Colonel Horace Walpole and his family.

In the 1980s, Heckfield Place was purchased by Racal Electronics plc., who greatly expanded it as a commercial conference and training centre. From 2000 to 2002, it was run as a corporate training center by the Thales Group. The building has been undergoing major refurbishment since 2009.
