Hire Rode Hall

Rode Hall is a fine early eighteenth century country house set in a Repton landscape. It has been the home of the Wilbraham family since 1669 and the extensive grounds include a woodland garden, formal garden and stunning two acre walled kitchen garden. This garden dates from 1750 and produces a wide variety of flowers, vegetables and fruit. It is also home to the world record breaking gooseberry grown by our head gardener Kelvin Archer.

Humphry Repton was commissioned in 1790 to design the landscape at Rode. Repton was not given the opportunity to put his plans in place but John Webb, a Cheshire-based landscapist, carried out the work to Repton’s specification between 1800 and 1810. In particular, the creation of Rode Pool, a lake of some 40 acres and a mile long, which is now one of the principal features of the Rode landscape.

The park has many fine trees and is now grazed by sheep. The lovely tearooms complete with flaming woodburner are housed in the old stables and serve homegrown and homemade lunches, cakes and refreshments and are available to hire.
