AND FOR THE HISTORY BUFFS...

The Old Hall Estate dates back to the 16th Century and was bought by Samuel Seckham in 1889. He continued to live at Beacon Place in Lichfield - the grounds of which eventually became Beacon Park - whilst he extended and refurbished the Whittington property on a grand scale. Part of his work included the building of a new driveway through the grounds. Cloister Lodge and its gates represent the 1890 entrance to the Hall; the driveway took a circuitous route through the spacious grounds, seemingly to maximise its apparent length.

The Hall was then divided in to three smaller dwellings in 1959 with part of the grounds around that 'circuitous drive' eventually becoming Cloister Walk. Cloister Lodge still boasts the most impressive pillar and sandstone chapiter gated entrance and now sits adjacent to Cloister Walk itself.
