Warfield Hall is a Grade II listed building at Warfield in Berkshire.

History

Warfield Hall was originally built in the 1730s and belonged to the Hart, later the Hart-Cotton, family. It passed by marriage to the Parry family of Denbighshire and passed down in that family until sold in 1831 to General Sir John Malcolm on his return from India. [1] He described it as "a large three-storey mansion, built in the 1730s, with ten bedrooms, stabling, a paddock, an orangery, a well-wooded park with a two-acre lake, a fine garden with a terrace, kitchen garden and outhouses". Malcolm died shortly afterwards and the property was bought by William Charles King. [2]

The house was substantially altered or rebuilt in the 1840s and, following a serious fire, was rebuilt in the 1870s by William King. [3] In 1890 King's daughter, Georgina, married Field Marshal Sir Charles Brownlow who moved into the house. [4] The house was extended in the late 19th century and altered again in the early 20th century. [5] In 1939 the house was acquired by Sir Thomas Sopwith [3] who used it as his home until the house was sold at auction in 1952. [6] In the mid 1970s the house was used as the American Military HQ in the film The Eagle Has Landed. [7]

It is now the property of Sheik Ali Juffali, a director of E. A. Juffali and Brothers. [8]
