History and Heritage
Peter Hall is a Grade 2 listed Farmhouse largely of 18th-century red brick but incorporating the remains of the church of Smite, consisting of chancel, nave, and south aisle, built of red sandstone ashlar, which survives to first-floor level and in places up to the eaves. At the east end there are buttresses to the angles, in two weathered stages, and below the gable is the hood-mould of a destroyed square-headed window. On the north side there is a late-13th-century pointed, roll-moulded doorway. The church of Smite was evidently given by Roger de Mowbray to Samson d'Aubigny, who was a clerk of Roger de Clinton, Bishop of Chester (1129-48), as Samson gave the church with its chapel of Brinklow to Kenilworth Priory, his gift being confirmed by Roger de Mowbray and later by Henry II. When the abbey of Combe was founded the monks must have acquired the church from Kenilworth and no more is heard of it. The fabric was still standing, with a cemetery attached to it, having presumably been used as a chapel served by the monks, until the dissolution of the abbey, after which it was allowed to decay and was converted into the present house of Peter Hall.

Walsgrave on Sowe
The property sits between Walsgrave, Brinklow and Stretton Under Fosse and enjoys both a semi rural feeling and the amenities of the nearby villages. Walsgrave offers a large range of retail and leisure including restaurants, supermarkets, Bowling alley and cinema. There is junior state schooling available in the nearby villages of Monks Kirby and Brinklow. There is an excellent choice of private schooling in Coventry, Warwick, Rugby and Leamington Spa. Easy access to excellent road networks with the A5 accessible at nearby Pailton, connecting to the A5, A14, A361, M6 and M69. There is also a high-speed rail service at Rugby to Euston, London in under 50 minutes. There are also doctors and dentists services available in Brinklow and Stretton respectively.
