Catton Hall is
a private home with luxury accommodation in the Midlands UK,
for golf and historic house tour groups, business meetings,
corporate hospitality and wedding receptions.
Catton has been in the hands of the same family since 1405
and still remains the private home of the Neilsons. The present
house, originally designed by James Gibbs and built by Smith
of Warwick in 1742, is virtually unchanged and contains its
original collection of fine family and Royal portraits, as
well as 17th and 18th century paintings and antique furniture.
There are fascinating family connections with Lord Byron,
as well as with Napoleon and the Duke of Cumberland, George
III's brother.
Catton has its own Chapel, and the Gardens, comprised of
herbaceous and shrub borders at the back and a formal garden
to the front, are protected by a HaHa from the stock grazing
in the parkland beyond. There are many venerable oak trees
throughout the Park as well as the River Trent running along
the west side of both the Park and Gardens.
