Papworth Hall, Papworth Everard, 1809 (RCHM)

Papworth Hall, Papworth Everard

History of Papworth Hall

Listed Building

Large Country House, 1809-1813 by George Byfield (1756 – 1813), for Charles Madryll Cheere (d.1825), altered in 1860-96 by E.T. Hooley. … Charles Madryll, married to John Cheere’s daughter, adopted the family name when inheriting the estate. E.T. Hooley, a financier, is reputed to have spent £150,000 improving the estate and became bankrupt in 1909. The Hall became a T.B. hospital in 1924 when Sir Pendrill Darrier-Jones founded an experimental T.B. recovery colony.
