Haden Hill House Museum and Haden Old Hall

Haden Hill House Museum in Cradley Heath, Rowley Regis is a Victorian gentleman's house furnished in period style surrounded by 55 acres of award winning parkland. The House was built in 1878 by George Alfred Haden Haden-Best who did not wish to live in the Old Hall which the house is semi-detached to. Although the Victorian house is furnished as a museum with Victorian objects, Haden Old Hall is now just a shell after it was damaged by fire and partly restored.
