Ragley Hall is the distinguished country seat of the Marquis of Hertford. Built in the Palladian style, it lies 1.5mi/2km southwest of Alcester. Built to the design of Robert Hooks between 1679 and 1693, James Gibbs (1682-1754) decorated the salon after 1750 with splendid stucco work. Chippendale furniture, paintings by Rubens and Reynolds, Meissen and Sèvres porcelain embellish the rooms. The 18th century country garden was created by "Capability" Brown.
