Brocksford Hall
HistoryThe house was built in 1893 for Charles William Jervis Smith and designed by the Chester architectural practice of Douglas and Fordham. From 1942-94 it was used as an independent preparatory boarding school.[1][2] The headmaster of Birkdale School, Mr John Gibson Roberts, moved Birkdale pupils evacuated to Derbyshire during the Second World War into Brocksford Hall after the war. Birkdale continued at Oakbrook under another headmaster. Magfern Estates purchased the hall and 35 acres (140,000 m2) of the estate in 1994. The hall and original outbuildings were converted into private apartments and houses. The later additional outbuildings for the school were demolished.[4]ArchitectureThe house was built in Jacobethan style and constructed in Ruabon red brick with much blue brick diapering and Hollington stone dressings.[1] It was the last house designed by Douglas on such a large scale.
