Outing to The Hall, Bradford on Avon
23rd August 2025 12.30pm
The Hall, situated on the eastern outskirts of the town, is one of the most important of Bradford on Avon’s buildings and Grade I listed.
A house existed here in the mid-13th century and the family who owned it took their name of Hall from it. It would originally have been a hall, to which more comfortable wings had been added, like Great Chalfield, Westwood and South Wraxall manor houses.
