About Woollas Hall/The Gallery Apartment

The main building was built in 1611 by the Hanford family. The Gallery Apartment retains many original features from the time. Adjustments and additions to the building were made in the 18th and 19th century, before the family sold Woollas in the 20th century. Developers then divided it into apartments that exist today. The long corridor in the Gallery Apartment was originally a balcony to the banqueting hall below. The Banqueting Hall is now a separate apartment on the ground floor. Bredon Hill is part of the Cotswolds and is also home to ancient monuments including an iron age fort and standing stones.
