Its imposing façade and arched windows still look out onto the 12th century church built on the same site as the Saxon church mentioned along with their ancestors in the Domesday Book. Set in 40 acres of Warwickshire countryside where it nestles in a verdant valley with the River Stour meandering through it, this spectacular Neo-Gothic mansion is still a world apart from the hustle and bustle of modern-day life. text/html 2008-05-01T20:27:48GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3911 Darius Khan 50.816664 -4.482509 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/784883 text/html 2008-05-01T20:25:32GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3911 Darius Khan 50.814993 -4.484976 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/784879 text/html 2008-04-22T19:54:42GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3911 Darius Khan 52.424999 -1.848192 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/773688 Highfield House is another historical building. It was built in 1850, making it the oldest house and the third oldest building in Hall Green. It was the farm house for Highfield Farm. The house was built in Georgian style with beautiful Neo-Classical features. It also retains the original sash windows. The demolition of the locally listed building has been proposed by developers, who want to build homes on the surrounding land. The ground floor of the house still has its wooden shutters fitted to the inside of each window frame which were closed and secured at night. The present day use for these shutters was to keep the house warm at night as they were very effective for excluding draughts but their original purpose was one of fortification against attack. When the house was built many isolated houses were a target for burglars, brigands and armed assault. text/html 2008-04-22T19:52:58GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3911 Darius Khan 52.425179 -1.848045 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/773685 Highfield House is another historical building.
