Whateley Hall

Whateley Hall (not to be confused with the similar sounding Whately Hall near Banbury) was a stately home in the Warwickshire countryside near Castle Bromwich.

The house was owned by the owners of Barrells Hall, the Newtons of Glencripesdale Estate. A housing estate was built on the house and grounds in 1935 when it was demolished

The house was set over three main levels and built in the classical Palladian influenced style with pillasters and pediment and set in gardens and pleasure grounds

The architect of the house and its date is unknown with very little documentation existing regarding it

The Newtons, a wealthy local family lived in the house even after buying the Barrells Hall estate in 1856, continuing to use Whateley Hall as the residence of the second son, William Newton III, vicar of Rotherham however it was sold in 1881 to the Knight family, local printers following his death in 1879.

The house sold to Fred Hayles & Co of Castle Bromwich in 1935 and demolished and what was known as the Whateley Hall Estate of new houses was built on the land. Today Birmingham has grown so much that it encompasses Castle Bromwich, back then it was open fields as shown by various maps

All that remains of the Neo Palladian house is the Lodge on the edge of Whateley Green

The house was lived in by William Newton II, who lived there with his wife Mary Whincopp and children Goodwin Newton (1832–1907),William Newton III, Canon Horace Newton, and Mary Rosa (who later married Henry Cheetham, Bishop of Sierra Leone.
