Walton Hall is a Grade II* listed country mansion near Wellesbourne, Warwickshire, originating from the 16th century but substantially rebuilt in the Victorian era. In 1858, Sir Charles Mordaunt, 10th Baronet, commissioned architect George Gilbert Scott to design a new Gothic Revival mansion on the site of older manor houses; the work was completed in 1862 and included a matching chapel. The building's cellars survive from the Elizabethan period, and the estate traces its ownership back to the Lestrange family from the 15th century. Following use as a Ministry of Defence training camp and girls' boarding school in the mid-20th century, the house was restored and converted into a hotel, which continues to operate today under Sunday Hotels management.
