Soughton Hall was built as a Bishop's Palace in 1714 and has been the cherished home to a succession of heirs in the Wynne-Bankes family line.
Distinguished residents have included a Bishop, two knights, three High Sheriffs, a Chaplin to Queen Victoria, a Lord Chief Justice, a Lord Chancellor's secretary and in William John Bankes, one of the greatest travellers and collectors of the early nineteenth century.
It was William John who was responsible for re-working Soughton Hall in the 1820s. Inspired by his adventures in the Middle East he added the mullioned windows, the first floor drawing room and dining room and the Islamic turrets upon the court walls. His plans were drawn by fellow traveller Charles Barry, later Sir Charles Barry, architect of the British Houses Of Parliament.
In 1986, the Rodenhurst family purchased Soughton Hall in a poor state of repair and spent the following years returning the hall to its former glory. In 1995 they went on to create the award winning Stables Bar Restaurant within the original stable block.
With its stunning mature gardens, luxurious rooms, private house atmosphere and acres of beautiful Welsh countryside surrounding it, Soughton Hall is totally unique and very special.
