HOAR CROSS HALL - A BIT OF HISTORY : Hoar Cross was part of Needwood Forest, the 11th century lands of Henry de Ferrers. The land was passed down to Henry’s son and subsequent various people over the course of 500 years ending with the Webb family, around the 1730s, who bought the land and house known as the Manor of the Cross. This was quite a large house built on a hill near Yoxall (which is the village next to Hoar Cross). In 1740 the manor house was demolished and later the Hon. Charles Talbot bought the Estate for £17,000. Eventually it was sold to Hugo Meynell, who already owned huge amounts of property all over the county.

In 1782, Hugo Meynell's grandfather, Hugo Meynell of Quorndon, the 'father of fox hunting', married the Hon. Elizabeth Ingram Shepheard.

Through this marriage of Hugo and Elizabeth, the Meynell family also inherited the Ingram Estates in Lincolnshire, acquired by Sir Arthur Ingram in the first half of the 17th century. In 1793 Hugo bought the Hoar Cross Estate and built a hunting lodge which was known as Old Hall.
Hugo and Elizabeth had six ch...
