Packwood House
Packwood House
The main block of Packwood House dates from the 16th century although it has been substantially altered and added to since then. It was owned by the Fetherston family, the last of whom died in 1876 although by that time the house was rented out.In 1905 it was acquired by Alfred Ash, who had made his fortune in the Birmingham metal industry. His son, Graham Baron Ash, set about restoring the house and, although he remained a bachelor, was famous for his lavish entertaining. Ash moved away in 1947, his work on the house complete, and the building and extensive gardens were given to the National Trust.
