Moxhull Hall is a manor house and estate close to the village of Wishaw, near Sutton Coldfield.
The manor of Moxhull was owned by the Lisle family from the 16th century and later by the Hackett family. The last Andrew Hackett died in 1815, and his widow married Berkeley Octavious Noel, a grandson of the 4th Earl of Gainsborough. Their son sold the estate to Thomas Ryland.
In 1900 the old manor house was destroyed by fire, in mysterious circumstances. The old house had been located in Moxhull Park, better known these days as 'The Belfry', a world class golf course. Losses in the fire included a fine oak staircase which had been installed from Kenilworth Castle in 1760.
The then Lord of the Manor, Howard Ryland, Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire, built a new Manor House, Moxhull Hall, a short distance away at Holly Lane, Wishaw. His grandson, Thomas Howard Ryland, sold the estate in 1926 and after a string of owners the big house became a hotel in 1969.
Moxhull Hotel is now a Grade II Listed Building, and is still in use as a hotel as well as a venue for weddings and conferences.
