Bantock House, Wolverhampton added to Historic Buildings in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 09/04/2025

Set within 48 acres of surrounding parkland the museum is named after Alderman Baldwin and Kitty Bantock, former residents of the house, which is now operated by the Wolverhampton City Council's Arts and Museums service.
Originally built in the 1730s as New Merridale Farm, the house was expanded and renovated by Thomas Herrick around the early 19th century, and renamed Merridale House. After changing tenants several times, it was purchased in 1864 by Thomas Bantock, a canal and railway agent. His son, Albert Baldwin Bantock, who served twice as Mayor of Wolverhampton and as High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1920, made further improvements to the estate following his father’s death in 1896. Upon Albert’s passing in 1938, without any heirs, he left the house and park to the Wolverhampton Corporation. The house was renamed in his honor in 1940 and is now a Grade II listed building.
The museum displays the lives of the Bantock family and other influential figures from the area. On the ground floor, exhibits focus on the Bantocks and their lifestyle, while the upper floor highlights the men and women who shaped Wolverhampton’s industries, featuring locally made enamels, steel jewelry, and japanned ware. The museum is notable for its departure from traditional "glass case" displays, opting instead for a more informal and creative presentation. Visitors are even encouraged to sit on the furniture.
The gardens surrounding the house were designed by Albert Baldwin Bantock and were restored in 1998 to reflect his original plans. These gardens offer visitors a glimpse into Baldwin's vision, featuring a sunken Dutch Garden, a rose garden, vibrant flower borders, and a woodland garden that is part of a nature trail around the park.
Bantock Park spans 48 acres and includes a children’s play area, an 18-hole golf course, a putting green, and football fields. Highland cattle, once bred by the Bantock family, are believed to have roamed the park until the 1930s. In their memory, local craftsman Neil Watt created a cow sculpture, which now stands at the front of the house.

Kiplin Hall, Hambleton (By D0c.Col)

Kiplin Hall is a remarkable 17th-century house tucked into the Vale of Mowbray in North Yorkshire. This quiet Jacobean gem, was built in the 1620s for George Calvert, the man who later founded the American colony of Maryland. Kiplin Hall has passed through several families and survived centuries of change. Inside, we explored its unique architecture, decorated plaster ceilings, Victorian interiors, historic library, and the preserved wartime kitchen from the RAF years.

It was saved from ruin when its final owner, Bridget Talbot, setup a Trust for its upkeep and development in 1971.

Whether you're a fan of English country houses, local history, architecture, or just a great walk, don't overlook one of Yorkshire’s most fabulous historic estates.

The carpark is free and the cost of entry to the house was reasonable at the time of my visit. It is pretty much run by volunteers, who were all knowledgeable and approachable. I was able to film freely inside the house and outside, TOAL outside of the ornate iron gates that lead to an avenue of trees into the distance. There is plenty of places to TOAL on the lakeside too. I was wasn't approached by anyone during my flight and was in plain sight all the time.

The hall is well sign posted so you should have no problems finding it.
