Aston Hall is a magnificent seventeenth century red-brick mansion situated in a public park on the north side of Birmingham. The Hall was built for Sir Thomas Holte and was one of the last great Jacobean houses to be built. The layout of rooms is largely unchanged, and they are linked by the original imposing grand stairs and splendid Long Gallery. The house still retains many early seventeenth century decorative features in stone, plaster and wood.
