Hagley Hall is a Grade I listed Neo-Palladian house in Hagley, Worcestershire, built between 1754 and 1760 by architect Sanderson Miller for George, 1st Lord Lyttelton, a poet, man of letters, and briefly Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lyttelton, who served as secretary to Frederick, Prince of Wales, also pioneered the landscape grounds in the emerging Picturesque style beginning before his father's death in 1751. A fire in 1925 necessitated restoration, though the uppermost floor of the servants' quarters was not rebuilt, permanently lowering the roof line between the towers. Following financial difficulties and estate decline from the 1970s onward, the 12th Viscount Cobham undertook restoration of both house and park. Today it remains the family seat of the Cobham viscounts, with the park open to the public and portions of the house available for hire.
