History
Rookery Hall was built around 1816 as "The Rookery" at Worleston near Nantwich, Cheshire, a plain late-Georgian brick country house. In 1867 it was purchased by Baron William Henry von Schröder of the Schroders banking family, who extended and remodelled it around 1900 into the grand Elizabethan-influenced château it is today. The house is Grade II listed and sits in some 38 acres of gardens and parkland.
The estate became a hotel and restaurant in the mid-1970s. Since 2001 it has been owned and managed by Julia Hands' Hand Picked Hotels group. It gained tabloid fame in 1998 as the place where David Beckham and Victoria Adams announced their engagement.
