Property Description
This is an opportunity to rent one of the unique cottages sympathetically restored in a superb gated courtyard in picturesque and romantic Maer Village, one of the finest examples of rural England. The cottages are in the grounds of historic Maer Hall which dominates the village and dates back to the 12th Century. The present stone house, built in 1680 overlooks a small lake, the source of the River Tern, which is all that remains of a very large Ice Age lake once covering the whole of the valley.
In the 18th century the famous landscape designer Capability Brown altered the lake in a scheme of pleasure grounds. In 1802 the estate was purchased by Josiah Wedgwood II who employed the famous landscape gardener John Webb for further design works. In the early 19thCentury, Charles Darwin was a frequent visitor; he proposed to Josiah’s daughter Emma in the Hall and they married at the adjacent St Peters church in January 1839.
