Year erected: 1790
What is the history of the property?
Dovecliff Hall is a building steeped in history. A Georgian manor house dating back to 1790, it was built for the family of Thomas Thornewill, the owner of a forge converted from Stretton corn mill.
In the 19th century, it was owned by Lord Bass who made many contributions to Burton, including the Ferry Bridge.
The grounds in the late 1840s covered 39 a.Thornewill was succeeded in 1843 by his son Edward (d. 1866), whose widow Mary continued to live at Dove Cliff until her death in 1880. In 1881 their son, Edward John, sold the estate to William Joseph Smith of Alvaston , who also bought the family's iron works at Stretton. Smith died in 1891, and in 1897 his widow Frances sold Dove Cliff house with 55 a. to Hugh Spencer Charrington, a Burton brewer, already the tenant. Charrington died apparently in 1921, and the house remained unoccupied in 1928. It was a hotel in 1932, but seems to have been a private house again by 1936 when was bought by Colonel Sharpe. Known as Dovecliff Hall by 1987, it was opened that year once more as a hotel, still its use in 1999.

Built of red brick with stone dressings on a square 5bayed plan, the two-storeyed house has a hipped roof, sash windows, and external doorways with Ionic colonettes. The north projecting porch was added, probably when the house was re-ordered internally in the 1890s or early 1900s.

Historic ResortSummary of reviews related to the 'Historic' categoryWychnor Park Country Club, located in a beautiful and historic setting, offers a unique travel experience. The stunning building and grounds exude charm and character with the big main building boasting wooden beams and a rich history. The hotel is situated in an old stable block, adding to its historical significance. Although the main house may be past its prime, the lovely setting more than makes up for it. Guests can enjoy the comfortable heritage apartments, well equipped with all the necessary amenities. Despite the fact that the hotel was once a more luxurious place, the beautiful location and historic charm make it worth the visit.
