Arthur Gregory

"The Gregory family built Stivichall Hall to the south-east of the church between 1750 and 1760, probably on a newly-inclosed site. Its main approach was by a drive which ran from lodge gates on the Leamington road, passed the east end of the church, and entered a forecourt on the north-east side of the house. Here the entrance front, with its central portico, was flanked by single-story outbuildings. The main house was a rectangular three-storied structure of stone ashlar, its principal fronts having seven bays, two of which represented a later addition. On the south-west or garden front the original central bay contained a pedimented doorway with Venetian and semi-circular windows above, the whole being surmounted by a pediment. The hall was demolished by stages after the sale of the estate, and it finally disappeared soon after the Second World War. An ice-house in the garden and a stablecourt to the south-east survived for a few more years. In 1964, although the site was still vacant, no buildings were left and the former gardens were derelict and overgrown." https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/warks/vol8/pp90-96 [accessed 21/12/2021].
