Building History
Originally, the residence belonged to the Marow family, who trace their ancestry back to William Marow, a former Lord Mayor of London. However, in 1815, Sir John Eardley-Wilmot, one of the Eardley-Wilmot baronets, reconstructed the property to its present appearance. Subsequently, between 1843 and 1860, the house was used as a school, but it was later renovated as a dwelling by Thomas Walker in 1861. In 1888, the residence changed hands and was purchased by Joshua Hirst Wheatley, whose family members, in 1896 and 1934, held the esteemed positions of High Sheriffs of Warwickshire.
In 1984, the estate was sold for development purposes, leading to the conversion of the house into apartments. Nevertheless, the surrounding land remains under the private ownership of the Berkswell Estate and the Wheatley family.
