1. Attingham Hall is an 18th-century Georgian Mansion, set amid 200 acres of parkland and gardens within the 4,000 acre Attingham Estate. Attingham was the seat of the Barons Berwick from the 1780’s until that title became extinct in 1953.
2. The mansion, designed by the architect George Steuart, was built between 1782-85 for Noel Hill, 1st Baron Berwick. It was built around the original house which stood on the site (Tern Hall) with the new structure completely encapsulating the old.
3. In 1805 John Nash was commissioned to add this staircase (along with a Picture Gallery featuring a curved glass roof).
4. The Hill family made their money through politics, the acquisition of land, money lending and mining, with their fortunes ‘fluctuating’ as history unwound.
5. During the First World War, Attingham was let to the Dutch-American Van Bergen family who encouraged the establishment of a hospital for wounded soldiers at Attingham. During the Second World War, Edgbaston Church of England Girls' School was evacuated and lived in part of the house, which later hosted the Women's Auxiliary Air Force.
6. On the death of Thomas Henry Noel-Hill, 8th Baron Berwick (1877–1947), who died childless, the Attingham Estate was gifted to the National Trust.
