Notes about this historic site
1 Designed by James Wyatt for Charles Boyer Adderley, replacing an earlier manor house. The house was rebuilt after a fire in 1890, but in 1920 it was demolished, and the facade re-erected in a house called Bledisloe Lodge (Gloucestershire). The site is now occupied by a power station.
2 A watching brief in 1996 (WA 8338) found a brick built water storage structure south of the site of the Hall.

My Great Grandfather, John Evan Febery, was the Butler to Lord Norton Adderley at Hams Hall in the 1900s, up to the point where in 1911 Hams Hall was sold by the family.
