Originally titled Shenley Hill House, there has been a mansion building on this site since the 14th century. Set in 16 acres of park and woodland the current mansion was designed by FT Baggallay and built in 1906. It was renamed Shenley Hall after a fire destroyed the original building. In 1814 the house was put up for sale after the death of Charles Arnold. His wife was the sister of the famous painter, John Constable.

In 1914 the building was extended by one of Britain's most celebrated architects Sir Edwin Lutyens, however the First World War cancelled completion of his work. Lutyens is best remembered for designing the Cenotaph in Whitehall.

Further additions to the property were made during the 30's and the pseudo Georgian style East Wing was completely rebuilt in the mid-80's. Designated a Grade II Listed Building, Shenley Hall has also been extensively used as a film and television location for programmes such as the Avengers and the Saint.

Approached by a large driveway, Shenley Hall's grounds boast many fine trees, formal gardens, woodland areas and cultivated lawns, as well as fountains, a rose garden and a charming lily pond full of carp. Shenley Hall is the head office of Road Tech Computers Ltd. For further information please contact Kevin Cann.
