From the Norman Conquest onwards, the Hanbury Estate was within the boundaries of the Royal Forest of Feckenham. When Feckenham’s royal status was lost in 1629, local families bought up land to increase their own estates – including the Vernon family, who began building the hall in 1701. As the estate passed down through the family, the hall and garden evolved with changing fashions, and now present an impressive 18th-century country retreat.
The Vernon family home
From their beginnings as the Elizabethan rectors of Hanbury parish, the Vernons became one of the most prominent families in Worcestershire.
The Vernon genes brought forth the famous lawyer Thomas Vernon, several local MPs and a baronet.
However, the same genes also gave rise to a Vernon who created one of the great domestic scandals of the late 18th century, and another who felt more at home in Argentina than the green acres of Hanbury.

The story of the Vernon family has not run smoothly, slightly contradicting the family motto: Vernon semper viret: (Vernon always flourishes).
