The hall was first constructed in 1860 by the architect E. W. Elmslie, who also designed the [Great Malvern railway station](/source/Great_Malvern_railway_station), as well as a number of other notable buildings in [Worcestershire](/source/Worcestershire). The house was built for Edward Bickerton Evans, an amateur archaeologist who had made his fortune from the vinegar factory set up by his father. His firm, [Hill and Evans](/source/Hill%2C_Evans_%26_Co), had their London HQ at 33–35 Eastcheap built to the elaborate Gothic designs of [Robert Lewis Roumieu](/source/Robert_Lewis_Roumieu), who is believed to have added the conservatory to the house. Today, Whitbourne Hall is situated in eight acres of gardens, and is divided into twenty-three private residences. However, the hall is hired out as a venue for weddings, private receptions and corporate events. The hall and grounds have also been used for cultural events such as theatre productions, choral performances and the Four Shires Festival. In April 2010, Whitbourne Hall was the subject of a [Channel 4](/source/Channel_4) television documentary presented by hotelier [Ruth Watson](/source/Ruth_Watson) as part of her ''[Country House Rescue](/source/Country_House_Rescue)'' series. ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== * [https://www.whitbournehall.com/ Whitbourne Hall homepage] Category:Grade II* listed buildings in Herefordshire Category:Country houses in Herefordshire {{Herefordshire-struct-stub}} --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Whitbourne Hall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitbourne_Hall) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitbourne_Hall?action=history)).
